About the MCR


What is the MCR?

The MCR (Middle Combination Room) comprises all the members of the college who already have a degree and are on a course of study at the university. Most students are either on one year Masters courses or are researching towards a Ph.D., but our members also include those on clinical, diploma and undergraduate courses. Members of the MCR are also automatically members of the Emmanuel College Students' Union (ECSU) and the MCR is affiliated to the Cambridge University Students' Union and the Graduate Union.

What do we do?

According to our constitution, the MCR exists to "provide amenities and entertainments to graduates, to represent graduates to the college, and to advance its members' education". We provide social activities throughout the year, lobby the college to provide adequate facilities and support for graduate students and make our presence felt in numerous college committees.

Freshers' Guide

The Fresher's Guide is written by the MCR President to give new graduates an introduction to the College, and what it's like to study here.
