Every year we invite potential students of all ages and backgrounds to join us at MMLL on our Open Days. They’re the perfect opportunities to learn more about what it's like to study languages, to get a taste of Cambridge life and to ask questions.
We will hold our next Faculty Open Day on Friday 21 March 2025.
These events are designed for students considering an application to Cambridge and include admissions talks, departmental tours, sample subject lectures and opportunities to talk to current staff and students.
In the meantime, please take a look at our resources and information below.
