The University of Cambridge (informally known as "Cambridge University" or simply as "Cambridge") is a public research university located in Cambridge, England, United Kingdom. It is the second-oldest university in the English-speaking world (after theUniversity of Oxford), and the third-oldest surviving university in the world. It is considered to be one of the most prestigious institutions of higher learning in the world.[5]
The institute grew out of an association of scholars that was formed in 1209, early records suggest, by scholars leaving Oxford after a dispute with townsfolk.[6] The two "ancient universities" have many common features and are often jointly referred to as Oxbridge.
Today, Cambridge is a collegiate university with 31 colleges and six academic schools. All these university institutions occupy different locations in the town including purposely-built sites and the student life is found in the arts, sport clubs and societies. Cambridge is also a member of many academic associations and forms part of the 'golden triangle' of British universities.[7]
