Freshers' getaways 2025

Christian Unions across Great Britain are hosting getaways to welcome incoming students and help prepare you for university. You're invited!

Together you'll be equipped and inspired to begin your university life living and speaking for Jesus. It's a great opportunity to meet some existing members of the CU and become integrated into CU life, while meeting other first years in the same position as you.

Come if you can't wait to launch into freshers' week. Come if you're terrified by the thought of it. Come if you know no one else starting at the same university as you. Come if you know you want to find a church when you arrive at uni. Come if you're full of questions about faith.

Come as you are.
