Accommodation

Alumni of Homerton are able to book accommodation at the College at a discounted alumni rate. You can make a booking by emailing alumni@homerton.cam.ac.uk. Rooms are also available during term time in North Wing subject to availability. The needs of current students take priority so we advise enquiring 5 to 10 days in advance.

Dining

Alumni are welcome to eat lunch in Hall at their own expense. Please be aware that you will need to pay by card for your meal. Alumni are also entitled to dine at Formal Halls when space permits and may be booked through the Communications and Engagement Office. Formals are held on Tuesdays in term time. Please contact alumni@homerton.cam.ac.uk for details.

College Library

Alumni may use the College Library for reading purposes. If you wish to use the Library please notify the Librarian in advance library@homerton.cam.ac.uk

Ma

If you hold a Cambridge BA, you may proceed to the MA not less than six years from the end of your first term of residence, providing that you have held your BA degree for at least two years. The College will contact you approximately two months before you become eligible. You may then register to receive your MA degree in person or in absence. The Tutorial Office organises the MA ceremony and the Communications and Engagement Office organises the MA lunch. Please ensure your contact details are up to date with the Communications and Engagement Office so that you are able to receive your official invitation.

Benefits provided by the University of Cambridge

The University Alumni Office can provide you with a CAM card which grants you privileges and discounts to alumni when visiting Cambridge. The card provides membership to the University Centre and entitles you to discounts from Cambridge University Press, Cambridge Wine Merchants, local hotels, bars and restaurants. The CAMCard also entitles you and up to three guests free entrance to all Colleges when they are open to the general public (but not during closed periods). Please note that fewer guests are permitted at King’s College, St John’s College and Queen’s College (see their websites for details). A full list of benefits can be found on the College website https://www.homerton.cam.ac.uk/alumni-andsupporters/alumni-services/alumni-benefits n
