Homerton College, Cambridge

Homerton College, Cambridge The official page for Homerton College, University of Cambridge. A page for our alumni, students, staff, and fans from around the world!

Homerton has one of the most unusual and fascinating histories of all the Cambridge Colleges. Its first premises were acquired in London in 1768 – making 2018 the 250th anniversary of Homerton’s foundation – although its origins go back to the late seventeenth century. In that time Homerton has educated alumni of considerable influence; including prominent dissenting thinkers, educationalists, pol

iticians, and missionary explorers. We have always had strong ties to public service as well as academia. With around 600 undergraduates, 800 graduates, and 90 Fellows, it is now the largest College in terms of student numbers in Cambridge. You can also follow us on twitter:

You are warmly invited to a special day of celebrations for Winnie-the-Pooh's one hundredth birthday!🍯🎉

Since its publication in 1926, A.A. Milne and E.H. Shepard’s Winnie-the-Pooh has become a beloved classic, inspiring generations through its enduring characters and stories. A century on, this one-day symposium invites scholars and enthusiasts alike to return to the Hundred Acre Wood and reflect on the past, present, and future of this remarkable work.

We begin the day with an academic “sym-pooh-sium” from 9am, with a plenary from Professor Peter Hunt, parallel academic sessions exploring new critical approaches to children’s literature, an illustration workshop, and more!

We then welcome the wider Homerton family from 3pm for a “smackerel” of themed afternoon tea and a closing keynote lecture by Kathryn Aalto, author of The Natural World of Winnie-the-Pooh. 🐝

Yesterday, internationally renowned pianist came to Homerton College to receive his Honorary Fellowship in recognition of his extraordinary contribution to music, culture and arts education.

It was a wonderful occasion, with a fantastic performance from Lang Lang Scholar , as well as from Lang Lang himself. A beautiful and historic moment fitting for our Great Hall.

Before the ceremony began Lang Lang also took the time to meet with some of our Homerton music students, offering them the chance to put their own questions to the globally celebrated musician.

The ceremony, which was live-streamed from Homerton College’s Great Hall to a global audience on TikTok LIVE, marked a landmark moment for both the College and for classical music, coinciding with the global launch of a TikTok LIVE campaign that placed Homerton at the centre of a worldwide conversation about how a centuries-old art form is finding a powerful new generation of fans 🎶

Breaking the Silence on Uterine Fibroids: A Pathway to Legislative Change 📢

Yesterday, Homerton College welcomed clinicians, researchers, patient advocates and policymakers for an impactful conference which shone the spotlight on Uterine Fibroids. Attendees came from all over the world including the UK, USA and the Netherlands, to empower, discuss and collaborate on forging pathways for real legislative change.

With emotional stories of lived-experience and insightful panel discussions between leading experts and advocates, the conference was equal parts educational, moving and empowering.

Homerton College stands unreservedly against hatred and violence in all their forms. We are appalled by the terrorist attack in Golders Green and stand in solidarity with the Jewish community — at Homerton, in Cambridge, and beyond. Antisemitism has no place in our college, our city, or our society.

When we witness violent attacks targeting any community, it reminds us that the work of building a more just, tolerant and safe society is ongoing — and that no community should live in fear.

Homerton has a zero-tolerance of racism and bigotry of any kind.

We are committed to a college where every member can live, study and thrive without fear or intimidation - and that commitment extends equally to opposing antisemitism, Islamophobia, and all forms of racism and hatred.

At Homerton, we are strongly committed to supporting our people at all times. It is more important than ever that we draw together as a community and look out for one another.

If you simply need to talk — please do reach out. Support is available.

Huge congratulations to first year History and Politics student, Charlie Padgham, who completed the London Marathon at the weekend! 🏅

Despite an injured calf muscle in the 9th mile, Charlie showed true grit and determination by continuing for the next 17 miles to complete the race!

Charlie also raised over £1,000 for a charity close to his heart - which is for babies that are born premature or with illness.

Charlie said of the day: “It was such a privilege to run for an amazing charity (Bliss) that helped my family and I when I was premature, especially on the same day that two world records were broken! The atmosphere was outstanding too”.

A true Homerton Hero! 💪

Breaking the Silence on Uterine Fibroids. 🎈 A Women's Health Symposium for Everyone.

Around 80% of all women suffer Uterine Fibroids by the age of 50, yet they remain underdiagnosed, underfunded, and largely overlooked in public health priorities.

We want to change that.

That's why on Tuesday 12 May we are bringing together clinicians, researchers, patient advocates, and policymakers to help advance uterine fibroids as a public health and legislative priority within the UK and beyond.

Join us for keynote contributions, panel discussions, and stakeholder workshops.

For anyone interested in women's health, this is for you. 🫵
