Academic Visitors

The College has limited accommodation for senior academic visitors from Universities around the world who come to Cambridge for periods from one term to a whole academic year. All such visitors have to be sponsored by one of our own Fellows. Such visits are subject to a detailed approval process and normally require application at least 18 months before the intended visit.

Ad hoc academic visitors may also be accommodated in the summer vacation (July to mid-September) and students who are studying at another University and are visiting Cambridge during the summer vacation for academic purposes may also be offered accommodation. Details of accommodation for visitors can be found on the academic visitor’s page.

Robinson College has a mix of single ensuite rooms and rooms with shared bathrooms and a number of self-contained flats. Most flats are used by Resident Fellows of the College but 2 or 3 are available for senior academic visitors. All available accommodation is occupied by students during term time but a limited number of rooms is available for visitors during the vacation.
