The county town of Cambridgeshire in the East of England is home to one of the UK’s elite universities and is rich in stunning architecture. Unlike many other towns in England, Cambridge escaped the destruction of the Second World War, so its historic buildings and narrow, medieval streets give the city a unique character.
These notable buildings, which span several centuries, along with its picturesque streets, gardens and surrounding countryside, make the city a popular destination for tourists and holidaymakers. Its relaxing outdoors and stunning natural beauty provide a feeling of being at one with nature inside a popular city.
Cambridge is a well-known university city so you can expect to meet a diverse array of people from different backgrounds as every year thousands of students from all corners of the globe head to the city to begin a new chapter in their lives. One of the most famous places to study in the world, Cambridge has been home to some of the greatest thinkers of the last 500 years.
Cambridge is the town where:
Cambridge also holds excellent transport links to the rest of the UK and is just 50 minutes away from London by train.
World-leading education isn’t the only thing that makes Cambridge a great student city.
The historic and multicultural city is small but vibrant and has a wealth of fantastic attractions, social and cultural activities and events that capture the hearts of many.
From museums to art galleries, cinemas, theatres, parks, restaurants, and pubs, there’s a lot that students can enjoy in Cambridge.
Cambridge is a place of continuous entertainment during the summer as you get to see the best of Cambridge from the river while travelling through the colleges on unusual flat-bottomed boats called "punts." You’ll definitely want to try punting at some point. Cambridge is one of the most recognisable punting locations in the UK. There are more punts on Cambridge’s River Cam than on any other river in the region.
Cambridge University Botanic Garden, Anglesey Abbey, The Backs and Wandlebury Country Park are good options for students to enjoy some serenity during their downtime.
A good night out to let off some steam is a big part of the university experience and there’s usually a packed calendar of student events to choose from in Cambridge.
There are over 100 pubs, as well as several nightclubs to head out to with your friends. The perennial student favourite Wetherspoons, Clare Cellars and Fez are all popular nightspots.
Cambridge Junction and the Corn Exchange are just a couple of a number of popular venues that highlight Cambridge’s vibrant music scene. There you’ll find gigs and shows hosting a wide range of major acts, as well as up-and-coming bands.
The city is also home to several annual events such as the Folk Festival, the Food Festival and an independent film festival in addition to university-organised community programmes such as the Festival of Ideas and Cambridge Science Festival in April.
But there’s surely no better time for a student to unwind in Cambridge than the first half of June, thanks to Cambridge University’s legendary May Week.
May Week is the period at the end of the academic year, when students celebrate the end of their exams. A cause for great celebration amongst the students of the university, it is a week littered with parties, rowing races on the River Cam and all-night balls, known as May Balls or June Events.
If you’re studying in Cambridge, you’re most likely going to be studying at the world-famous University of Cambridge.
Having produced 90 Nobel Prize winners, 117 Nobel laureates, 11 Fields medal winners and some of the most famous British scientists, the university has a long-standing reputation for academic excellence and traditional scholarly values. This crown jewel of the UK universities serves more than 20,000 students from all corners of the globe in 31 colleges, of which two, Murray Edwards and Newnham, admit women only.
The third oldest university in the world (established in 1209), Cambridge University often ranks among the very top universities in the world for teaching, research, and international outlook. The university is ranked as the 2nd best university in the world in the 2023 QS World University Rankings, and the best one in Europe.
Other universities in Cambridge include for example Anglia Ruskin University, which has a campus in the city, as well as the Cambridge School of Visual & Performing Arts.
