The University of Cambridge is a public collegiate research university in Cambridge, United Kingdom. Founded in 1209 and granted a royal charter by Henry III in 1231, Cambridge is the world’s third oldest surviving university and one of its most prestigious, currently ranked second best in the world and the best in Europe by QS World University.
The university occupies a central location within the city of Cambridge with the students taking up roughly 20 percent of the town’s population, and contributing on whole to a lower age demographic in the city.
Most of the university’s older colleges are situated nearby the city center, through which flows River Cam, which students and others traditionally punt to appreciate the university buildings and surroundings viewable from the river.
The most distinctive characteristic of Cambridge University courses is that they cover the subject very broadly in the initial years and then offer a range of options in which to specialize in the later years.
