Academic support

When you begin your postgraduate studies you'll be allocated a supervisor or advisers by your University faculty. We can support you too.

Graduate tutors

We have a Graduate Tutor, a Deputy Graduate Tutor and an Assistant Graduate Tutor who work as part of the overall Tutorial team within the College. Their role is to select, maintain, and support an active and vibrant postgraduate community.

They act on behalf of our postgraduates, from attending College committees to submitting appeals and allowances. Our Graduate Tutor is happy to have a chat with you if you need some support with an academic issue. 

College contacts

In your first year as a postgraduate you'll be assigned a College Contact who is a Jesus Fellow based in a subject close to your own degree, usually someone different to your faculty supervisor or adviser.

Your College Contact is a connection to both Fellows and undergraduates in your subject at Jesus, but they may also be able to help you with advice about your course or other issues in your faculty.

If you're a current student seeking academic support, or you're thinking of joining us and you'd like to know more, get in touch with the Senior Postgraduate Administrator by calling +44 (0)1223 339421 or emailing graduate-tutor@jesus.cam.ac.uk.

    What first attracted me to °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹û was its reputation and history, central location without being touristy, and the postgraduate housing options. When I arrived at Jesus I was so pleased to find the partner accommodation was spacious, affordable, and situated very close to the college, allowing us to really take advantage of the facilities. We especially enjoyed The Roost, the nicest of all the college bars, doubling as a café during the day - ideal for studying or meeting up with groups - and a lively pub in the...

    I chose Cambridge for my PGCE as it’s the leading UK institution for teacher training and Education, with an exciting, research-dominated, cutting edge course. The staff are welcoming and approachable, and make studying here an absolute joy. I’ve already completed one of my three primary school placements, in a reception class in a school just outside Cambridge, and am due to start the next one soon. I chose Jesus because of its reputation as a sporty College, but the proximity to the city centre is a big bonus. Jesus also...

    It is a well-accepted opinion in Cambridge that °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹û is the best college and no other college even comes a distant second. Its sports grounds are enormous, its buildings are mesmerising, its libraries are rich, its chapel is the oldest, its accommodation is the best value for money, its international community is diverse, its religious circles are the most welcoming, and its members are the smartest, kindest and the friendliest. It is one of the central colleges that aims to offer three years accommodation to postgraduates, and has comparatively...

    There are many reasons why I’m so happy to be a part of °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹û. The three biggest reasons for me are the opportunities to be involved in College sport, the support the College provides for me with for my research and the help in making sure that we have comfortable, affordable accommodation when we have needed it. °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹û is so friendly and so it is incredibly easy to get involved in the sport and social side of the College. The MCR does a great job in welcoming new...

    °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹û has been a great home for me during my PhD. I chose °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹û for a number of reasons – first, the location. We are central enough to be within easy walking distance of most things, but far enough away to avoid the hustle and bustle (and tourists in summer!). The College also has extensive grounds, with amenities like the hockey pitch, football pitch and tennis courts all on site. Secondly, the accommodation is some of the best I’ve seen in Cambridge. My house was newly renovated when...
