History
- 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.
Education
- Research students may have the opportunity to gain supervising and demonstrating experience by undertaking teaching on behalf of Colleges and departments. Supervisions involve the teaching of undergraduates in small groups of between one and four students at regular intervals throughout the term.
- Demonstrating involves helping academic staff in running laboratory classes and various teaching exercises such as drawing or computer-aided process engineering. Such experience can be immensely valuable in developing a wide range of transferrable skills which can be important for future career success, whether in academia or in other fields.
Research
- We seek to provide a creative and supportive environment in which ideas are generated and can flourish.
- The excellence and diversity of our research across the Schools of Arts & Humanities, Humanities & Social Sciences, Clinical Medicine, Technology, Physical Sciences and Biological Sciences, and our role as one of the founder members of the Cambridge Network, means that in addition to our achievements in fundamental research, we are also well-positioned to make significant contributions to the global innovation agenda and, by conveying the implications of our research, to contribute to the formulation of policy.
Career
- The 2019 Cambridge Careers Guide is packed with practical advice and information on employers targeting University of Cambridge students.
- The Guide is sent to all colleges at the start of Michaelmas Term. Ask your porters if you are not sure where the Guides are in your college, or you can collect a free copy from the Careers Service.
