Why Cambridge

Put simply, Cambridge is widely regarded as being one of the best universities in the world

Drawing over 23,000 students from more than 140 countries, it's easy to see why Cambridge is also known as one of the world's most beautiful cities. With its unique blend of old and new architectural styles, it offers students the incredible opportunity to live, work and study alongside some of the finest examples of Tudor, Victorian and Medieval buildings in the country.
