Cambrige
The University of Cambridge is
a public collegiate research university in Cambridge,
England. Founded in 1209, the University of
Cambridge is the world's third-oldest university in
continuous operation. The university's founding
followed the arrival of scholars who left the University
of Oxford for Cambridge after a dispute with local
townspeople. The two ancient English universities,
although sometimes described as rivals, share many
common features and are often jointly referred to
as Oxbridge.

Study
In addition to the 31 colleges, the university
maintains over 150 departments, faculties,
schools, syndicates, and other academic
institutions. Members of these are usually
members of one of the colleges, and
responsibility for the entire academic
programme of the university is divided among
them.

Library
Endless Stories: Manuscripts, knowledge and
translation in the 17th century
In 1632, Cambridge University Library was
transformed by an extraordinary collection of
manuscripts in a dazzling array of languages.
Collected by a visionary thinker, Thomas Van Erpe,
and on display for the first time, these unique items
and the stories they tell shine a light on a 400-yearold quest for knowledge through the languages of
the world.
