The college is thrilled to report that fellow Dr Marta Halina, a member of the Cambridge Department of History & Philosophy of Science, has been awarded a Pilkington Prize.

The college's 3-minute thesis competition is an annual highlight: a chance for students to explain their academic work to an audience in 3 minutes with the help of just one slide.

The Lent Bumps this March saw a terrific week on the river for the Selwyn College Boat Club.

Alongside the offer letters sent out to our prospective new undergraduate students, selected offerholders also received invitations to our bridging course. We are running this initiative for the second time, following a successful pilot scheme in September 2024.

The Fellows of Selwyn College are delighted to announce that Suzanne Raine has been elected as the next Master of the College.

Our outreach programme to schools continues at a hectic pace. Recent visitors to the college were from St Joseph’s School in Slough.

Selwyn will be hosting more big names from the world of academia, politics and media as our popular events programme for students, alumni and friends continues into 2025.

It’s a recent tradition at Selwyn that the college Christmas card is designed by students. There’s a competition open to all JCR and MCR members during the Michaelmas term after which the best entry is chosen, and it then becomes the image for the card that is sent to hundreds of people.

Selwyn’s MCR, our representative body for postgraduate students, has elected a new president. He is Jeffery Pendleton, and he will join the college’s council and governing body in 2025.
