EDUCATION
The University of Cambridge
(informally Cambridge University, or simply Cambridge) is a public research
university located in Cambridge, United Kingdom. It is the second-oldest
university in the United Kingdom, and the seventh-oldest globally.
The university grew out of an
association of scholars in the city of Cambridge that was formed in 1209, early
records suggest, by scholars leaving Oxford after a dispute with townsfolk. The
two "ancient universities" have many common features and are often
jointly referred to as Oxbridge. In addition to cultural and practical
associations as a historic part of British society, they have a long history of
rivalry with each other.
Academically Cambridge ranks as one of
the top universities in the world: first in the world in both the 2010 and 2011
QS World. Graduates of the University have won a total of 61 Nobel Prizes, the
most of any university in the world!
