About the Institution
As a collegiate university, Cambridge is unusual for having no campus and, as such, is a group of 31 self-governing colleges coming under one Cambridge banner. Each college is a part of Cambridge whilst being largely independent. They appoint their own teaching staff and fellows in each subject, decide which students to admit, provide the supervision teaching for undergraduates, and are responsible for the domestic arrangements and welfare of students and staff.
Cambridge has produced 89 Nobel winners to date, more than any other university, while Trinity College alone has produced more Nobel prize winners than France. The University of Cambridge is also the third biggest landowner in the country, after the King and the Church of England.
Cambridge University courses are considered amongst the very best in the world, and the University is one of the ten most targeted universities in the UK by Britain's leading employers (Graduate Outcomes).
Location
By air, Cambridge is served by four major airports: Stansted, Luton, Heathrow and Gatwick. There are National Express coach services to Cambridge from all four airports and direct trains from London which take about one hour. Find on Map
Student Life
Colleges are students' main point of contact and vary in their orientation arrangements. Alongside this, support is available from student societies and volunteer alumni groups, who run fresher parties throughout September to introduce students to each other and university life.
The International Student Team runs an orientation program at the start of each academic year to offer information about the university, plus the chance to meet other international students.
The iCSU also represents international students at the University of Cambridge. The group welcomes new students as they arrive in the city, and social events are organised throughout the year. Currently, 1,300 international students from 65 countries are enrolled at Cambridge.
Accommodation is served by each college individually, and varies strongly. Most colleges own houses and flats within Cambridge, but can also offer rooms for undergraduates for all three years of study. The Accommodation Service is also available to help organise private rented accommodation in the town.
