Academic excellence
When deciding on a university you'll be looking for somewhere that offers excellent teaching and resources to enable you to succeed. We're confident that we can offer both.
The University is known and respected across the globe for the excellence of its teaching and research, and the quality of its graduates - a status endorsed by the Quality Assurance Agency (QAA) and others.

We're committed to encouraging and developing enquiring minds and Cambridge provides an unparalleled learning experience for our students. Not only are you taught in the lecture theatre by academics who are experts in their fields, but our supervision system means that you receive more personal tuition from them too.
The University is also dedicated to maintaining a close relationship between teaching, learning and research through our 'community of scholars'. The collegiate structure gives a strong sense of community, and the teaching system and College way of life mean that students interact, both formally and informally, with academic staff of all levels, including those who are world leaders in their field.
