We are one of the world's oldest universities and leading academic centres, and a self-governed community of scholars.

 Cambridge comprises 31 Colleges and over 150 departments, faculties, schools and other institutions.

A college is where students live, eat and socialise. It is also the place where students receive small group

 teaching sessions, known as supervisions.

Each college is an independent institution with its own property and income. The colleges appoint their own staff

and are responsible for selecting students, in accordance with University regulations. The teaching of students is

shared between the Colleges and University departments. Degrees are awarded by the University.

Cambridge University Press publishes the finest academic and educational writing from around

the world and is dedicated to advancing knowledge, education, learning and research. Since publishing

 its first work in 1584, Cambridge now publishes over 2500 titles and 200 journals every year 

Cambridge Assessment is Europe’s largest assessment agency and plays a highly influential

 role in the research and development of school examinations in the UK and around the world.

 Through its three examination boards it delivers mainstream qualifications to over 8 million candidates a year.
