Touring to Sydney, Melbourne and the wineries of Yarra Valley, the final highlight of the trip will be witnessing the total eclipse of the sun as it rises over the Great Barrier Reef, accompanied by Professor Ken Freeman: astronomist and astrophysicist.

More Information

Shortly after you leave the University, your student @cam.ac.uk account will be terminated. Thereafter, you will be entitled to use the lifetime alumni email service provided by the Alumni Office.

Your address will look like:

your.name@cantab.net

As well as being a useful continuation of your University identity and an easy way to keep in touch with your peers, the address will also come in very useful in the next phase of your life:

The Independent: "A recent survey of HR managers by Yahoo! found that 51 per cent would be put off by a candidate who had a "wacky" e-mail address. Although a university e-mail account is perfectly acceptable, it may cause you problems on graduation, when the address expires."

Your cantab.net account will never expire.

Account Options

These email addresses have two account types - Webmail and Enhanced:

  • Webmail - A FREE FOR LIFE email account offering email forwarding and webmail-only access to a limited 100MB account. You can also use this service to forward your mail elsewhere.
  • Enhanced - A fully featured email service starting from 2000MB supporting full connectivity via POP3/IMAP/Mobile Phone/SMTP. After a long free trial period this account is maintained from just £6/year.
  • Personal webhosting can be added to all Enhanced account levels for £5.00/year.

The Alumni Relations Office generously sponsors the first 12 months' usage at the Enhanced-level of service for all leavers who register by 31st December of their leaving year, giving enough storage space to migrate university data and fully trial the service.

Applications from past alumni will receive 3 months' free Enhanced-level service.

A Quality Service

Cantab.net differentiates itself from the many public/free email services on the web by offering a higher quality email experience, uncluttered with distracting advertising and fully supported by a properly manned helpdesk.
Being a trusted, university provided service, you can be 100% sure that your privacy will always be completely respected, resulting in a noticeable absence of spam (provided of course you keep your address private yourself). Even if the address does get on the odd marketing list, our dedicated and user-configurable spam firewall captures the majority of junk.

You will receive exceptional customer service

The subscription amount, from just £6* per YEAR, is perhaps the smallest of any ad-free service and you should expect to rapidly recoup this value in terms of both the stress and time saved.
