Students will not be short on inspiration and all the conveniences of a modern city, making Cambridge a perfect environment in which to study and live.
Cambridge is known for its academic tradition and has been the home of some of the world’s greatest intellects including Charles Darwin, Sir Isaac Newton and Stephen Hawking. Today it is also known as a centre of technological innovation, due to the growth of High-Tech industry.
Cambridge’s main attractions are all within easy walking distance, best enjoyed with a lazy stroll around its famous streets. Cambridge, just a 45 minute train ride from London, is home to 22,000 students and one of the fastest growing areas in Britain.

“I will pack, and take a train, and get me to
England once again! For England’s the one land, I know, where men with Splendid Hearts may
go; And Cambridgeshire, of all England, The
shire for Men Who Understand.”
Rupert Brooke, The Old Vicarage, Grantchester (1912) |

Its combination of beautiful gothic architecture, tranquil punting on the river Cam and botanic gardens make it one of the most visited cities in the UK. However, as you would expect with such a large population of students, Cambridge offers much more than stunning scenery. A fantastic selection of cafes, restaurants and pubs are complemented by the full range of high street shops. The ‘Junction’ has been a student favourite for many years with over 1,500 shows per year ranging from dance to rock bands.
Regular appearances by international and local acts such as Blur, The Arctic Monkeys and Jamiroquai at The Junction or the famous Corn Exchange, means students can always get their music fix.
There is also a thriving cultural scene with venues such as Kettles Yard offering exhibitions, plays, concerts and the renowned Fitzwilliam Museum displaying an impressive range of art and antiquities.
Cambridge is well known for its love of sports ranging from tennis, badminton, cricket, ultimate frisbee and football. Beautiful wide open green spaces, such as Parker’s Piece and Jesus Green which are located in the city
centre mean that students can join the friendly locals in an impromptu game of football or ultimate frisbee.
