As we creep further into autumn and closer to the start of the new academic year, gardener Oliver looks back on summer in the gardens, considers what drier seasons might mean for the future, and highlights the importance of being inspired by others.

This summer has been challenging. In the absence of rain, we targeted watering with watering cans to where it was most needed and made use of the harvested rainwater collected during the winter months at our Wychfield Site. A handful of plants thrived: Wisterias in Front and Avery courts; the Fig tr...

What does a year abroad look like for students in 2026?

For our Modern and Medieval Languages students, it has meant full immersion in the cultures, languages and friendships of Latin America and Europe.

This year, students have studied at universities in Havana, Santiago and Rio de Janeiro, worked as a translator for an NGO in southern Spain, completed a marketing internship in Paris, and gained first-hand journalism experience in Medellín interviewing NGO leaders, politicians and voters.

Along the way, they've improved their language skills, explored new countries and cultures, and built friendships and experiences that will stay with them long after they return to Cambridge. We're looking forward to welcoming them back to College and hearing more about their year.

Kai Zhen Tek graduated this summer with not one award but two! 🏆

Kai received the Erskine Chambers Prize for the best overall performance in Company Law, as well as the Herbert Smith Freehills Kramer Overall Degree Classification Prize for achieving the best overall performance in the Law Tripos examinations.

"Studying law at Cambridge, with its short and intensive terms, was no easy feat. I am therefore incredibly grateful to all my supervisors... and to the Trinity Hall community and the staff of the Law Faculty for the many conversations that encouraged me along the way."

Kai's next steps take him to the United States. 🛬

"It has been the privilege of a lifetime to study at Cambridge, and I am excited for the next chapter at Harvard Law School, where I will be pursuing an LLM". ⚖

Congratulations, Kai. We hope to see you in College again soon.

Jaeyen Lian graduated this summer with a BA in Law, ranking 28th out of his cohort in his final year. Alongside his degree, Jaeyen spent many hours in rehearsals putting his heart and soul into the student theatre scene in Cambridge.

"I am proud to say that I achieved the degree results I had hoped for without compromising on my passions outside of Law. As well as singing tenor as a choral scholar in the Trinity Hall Chapel Choir, I performed in 30 theatrical productions and directed two musicals with the Trinity Hall Music Society."🎭🎶

Jaeyen is spending this summer taking these passions up to Edinburgh, performing in several productions at the Edinburgh Fringe!

"I will certainly miss the last three years. I cannot wait to see what the future holds."🎉

It has been wonderful to host over 30 students at Trinity Hall this week, as they took part in maths and science workshops as part of the STEM SMART residential programme. 📐🥽 🚀

The programme (run by the University and Isaac Physics) provides Year 12 to Year 13 students who are considering applying to STEM subjects at university, with free teaching, tutoring and support to help further their skills and build their confidence in their subjects.

Outside of their busy schedule of activities, our STEM SMART students also experienced life at College, chatting with our student ambassadors, dining in the Dining Hall and exploring the city centre. They also got to experience a Formal Hall at Churchill College!
