Welcome to Cambridge University. Cambridge
University, an institution of higher education, is the
second oldest university in Great Britain after the
University of Oxford. It is located in the city of
Cambridge.
The University of Cambridge is a system of

You know, although the colleges and the university per
se are separate corporations, all are parts of an
integrated educational entity. The university examines
candidates for degrees during their residencies and at
the conclusion of their studies. The colleges provide
their students with lodgings and meals, assign tutors,
and offer social, cultural, and athletic activities. Every
student at the University of Cambridge is a member of
a college.
Let's see its academic year. The academic year is
divided into three terms of approximately eight weeks
each: Michaelmas (autumn), Lent (late winter), and
Easter (spring). Students required to study under
supervisor are usually members of the college's
faculties who maintain close relationships with small
groups of students in their charge and assist them in
preparing for university exams.
