There are about 30 Colleges in Cambridge University. Three are for women and two admit graduates. The remainder settle and teach the students entered in courses of research or study at the University.
Every College is a self-dependent institution with its income and property. The Colleges assign their staff and they are accountable for choosing students, according to University regulations. The student teaching is shared between the University and Colleges departments. And degrees are geven by the University.
In each College, students and staff of all disciplines are chucked together. This cross-fertilisation has supported the free exchange of concepts that has caused the creation of some new companies. St John’s and Trinity have established science parks, giving facilities for start-ups, as well as making an important contribution to the authentication of Cambridge as a heart of technology and innovation.
A College is a place where students socialise, live, and eat. It is a place where they get small group teaching sessions famous as supervisions. This supervision system is considered one of the major reasons for the Cambridge University’s fortune in the external reviews of teaching and learning.
The University and Colleges sustain access initiatives to support applications from skillful students from both independent and state schools. The most successful is the summer schools program.
Besides the resources offered by the University, every College has its sports and library facilities, and some of them have their theatre and bar. Many Colleges have their societies and clubs, offering a diversity of various non-academic activities for students participating.
