Facts & Figures

The University of Cambridge is one of the oldest universities in the world,
and one of the largest in the United Kingdom. It has a world-wide reputation
for outstanding academic achievement and the high quality of research
undertaken in a wide range of science and arts subjects.
The University pioneers work in the understanding of disease,
the creation of new materials, advances in telecommunications
and research into the origins of the universe. It trains doctors,

many of whom have gone on to become prominent figures in the arts,
print and broadcast media. The University's achievements in the
sciences can be measured by the sixty or more Nobel Prizes awarded to
its members over the years.
