BREATHTAKING RIVERSIDE COLLEGE

With the world-famous Bridge of Sighs, a six-storey library, and 18 acres of gardens set on the banks of the River Cam, everything you need for an unforgettable university experience is right here at St John's.

TUTORIAL SYSTEM

Every student is assigned a Tutor, a Fellow at St John’s distinct from their academic supervisors, who will generally check in with students each term to see how you are getting on academically and with student life.

Your Tutor is your first port of call if you need some extra support, whether that’s advice about navigating College and university life, or how to deal with an academic, financial, health, or personal problem that is getting in the way of your studies.
