The University of Cambridge (formally The Chancellor, Masters, and Scholars of the University of Cambridge) is a collegiatepublic research university in Cambridge, England. Founded in 1209 and granted a Royal Charter by King Henry III in 1231, Cambridge is the second-oldest university in the English-speaking world and the world's fourth-oldest surviving university. The university grew out of an association of scholars who left the University of Oxford after a dispute with the townspeople.The two medieval universities share many common features and are often referred to jointly as "Oxbridge". The history and influence of the University of Cambridge has made it one of the most prestigious universities in the world. Cambridge is formed from a variety of institutions which include 31 constituent Colleges and over 100 academic departments organised into six schools. Cambridge University Press, a department of the university, is the world's oldest publishing house and the second-largest university press in the world. The university also operates eight cultural and scientific museums, including the Fitzwilliam Museum, as well as a botanic garden. Cambridge's libraries hold a total of around 15 million books, eight million of which are in Cambridge University Library, a legal deposit library.

In the fiscal year ending 31 July 2017, the university had a total income of £1.71 billion, of which £458 million was from research grants and contracts.The central university and colleges have a combined endowment of around £4.9 billion, the second largest of any university in the UK. The university is closely linked with the development of the high-tech business cluster known as "Silicon Fen". It is a member of numerous associations and forms part of the "golden triangle" of leading English universities and Cambridge University Health Partners, an academic health science centre.

History of CAMBRIDGE By the late 12th century, the Cambridge region already had a scholarly and ecclesiastical reputation, due to monks from the nearby bishopric church of Ely. However, it was an incident at Oxford which is most likely to have formed the establishment of the university: two Oxford scholars were hanged by the town authorities for the death of a woman, without consulting the ecclesiastical authorities, who would normally take precedence (and pardon the scholars) in such a case, but were at that time in conflict with King John. The University of Oxford went into suspension in protest, and most scholars moved to cities such as Paris, Reading, and Cambridge. After the University of Oxford reformed several years later, enough scholars remained in Cambridge to form the nucleus of the new university.In order to claim precedence, it is common for Cambridge to trace its founding to the 1231 charter from King Henry III granting it the right to discipline its own members (ius non-trahi extra) and an exemption from some taxes (Oxford would not receive a similar...

We recently took a day trip from London to visit the University of Cambridge, and it turned out to be a truly memorable experience. Starting our journey from Canary Wharf, we found the train ride both easy and relaxing, making the visit very accessible even just for a day. As someone who has always dreamed of seeing a world-renowned university like Cambridge, this visit felt particularly special.

Upon arriving, we mostly explored the university grounds on foot, soaking in the rich academic atmosphere and the stunning architecture that spans centuries. While we didn’t go on a formal tour, just walking around the historic colleges and courtyards gave us a profound sense of the university’s legacy. There’s a certain magic to seeing places where some of the world’s greatest thinkers once studied and worked.

One of the highlights was visiting King’s College Chapel—often simply referred to as King’s Cathedral by visitors. Its majestic Gothic architecture, tall stained-glass windows, and breathtaking vaulted ceilings left us in awe. Even from the outside, it stands as a symbol of Cambridge's grandeur and history.

We also made sure to see the iconic Mathematical Bridge, a wooden footbridge at Queen’s College known for its elegant engineering. Legend has it that it was once built without any bolts or screws (though that part’s more myth than fact), but seeing it up close still sparked curiosity and admiration.

Overall, the visit was a beautiful blend of history, architecture, and inspiration. Just being there—on the same cobblestone paths walked by Newton, Darwin, and countless Nobel laureates—was deeply meaningful. Whether you're an academic, a curious traveler, or someone who simply appreciates beautiful places with deep roots, Cambridge is a place that leaves a...
