Sport, music and college facilities

Corpus Christi offers a wide range of extra-curricular activities to graduate students.

MCR members can join any of the clubs and societies run by the JCR. The current MCR counts among its ranks several ‘Blues’ (members of University first teams), and contributes heavily to the College rowing teams.

There is a popular College choir, and opportunities to play in an orchestra and take part in plays and musicals.

Facilities for students with disabilities

Access to most areas of the College is possible for students with disabilities and ad hoc arrangements can be made, within reason, to suit individual needs.

There is one purpose-built flat off the main site for a disabled student and one room on the main site has been adapted for a wheelchair user. Other rooms have been adapted for the hard of hearing.

MCR

All graduate students are members of the Corpus Christi Middle Common Room (MCR), where there is a limitless supply of tea, coffee and biscuits available in addition to daily newspapers. The MCR also has a large TV and a computer with free printing.

The MCR Committee organises a varied programme of social and sporting events including MCR/SCR seminars, with papers delivered alternately by graduates and Fellows.

MCR members can dine at High Table twice each year, and a small number of MCR members can sign up for lunch with the Fellows of the College every Monday in term
