Welcome to Magdalene College MCR!

Magdalene MCR is the postgraduate community of Magdalene College Cambridge. We organise social events throughout the year, provide welfare and academic support, and have a shared physical room for relaxing and mingling (also called the MCR). We pride ourselves on having the most close-knit community of all the MCRs in Cambridge!
