  Historical Survey
  The University of Cambridge is rich in history - its famous Colleges and University buildings attract visitors from all over the world. But the University"s museums and collections also hold many treasures which give an exciting insight into some of the scholarly activities, both past and present, of the University"s academics and students.
  The University of Cambridge is one of the world"s oldest universities and leading academic centres, and a self-governed community of scholars. Its reputation for outstanding academic achievement is known world-wide and reflects the intellectual achievement of its students, as well as the world-class original research carried out by the staff of the University and the Colleges.
  How the University works
  Cambridge comprises 31 Colleges and over 150 departments, faculties, schools and other institutions.
  The University functions with a relatively small central administration, and with central bodies consisting of, and mainly elected by, the current academic personnel of the Faculties and Colleges.
  A large part of Cambridge"s day-to-day administration is carried out by teaching staff on behalf of their colleagues, and the University"s governmental structure is democratic.
  As Cambridge approaches its 800th anniversary, it is not surprising that the way in which the University governs itself can appear complex.
  The University"s Mission and Core Values
  The mission of the University of Cambridge is to contribute to society through the pursuit of education, learning, and research at the highest international levels of excellence.
  The University"s core values are as follows:
  o freedom of thought and expression
  o freedom from discrimination
  Education:
  o the encouragement of a questioning spirit
  o an extensive range of academic subjects in all major subject groups
  o quality and depth of provision across all subjects
  o the close inter-relationship between teaching, scholarship, and research
  o strong support for individual researchers as well as research groups
  o residence in Cambridge as central to most courses
  o education which enhances the ability of students to learn throughout life
