Study in Cambridge

Cambridge is a historic university city with a global reputation for academic excellence. Over a fifth of its residents are students, giving the city a modern, cosmopolitan feel, and the streets are full of fascinating museums, diverse restaurants and quirky shops.

A world-class university city

5 things to do in Cambridge

1. Try punting - the most traditional Cambridge activity. The city is at its most beautiful when viewed from aboard a punt.

2. Visit Grantchester Meadows - a perfect way to spend a Summer’s afternoon. Have a picnic on the meadows, then visit The Orchard Tea Gardens for a traditional cream tea.

3. Go shopping - find everything from well-known brands to chic independent stores and local arts and crafts.

4. Walk along ‘The Backs’ - stroll along the historic backs of the Cambridge colleges and follow in the footsteps of their world-famous alumni.

5. Enjoy some entertainment - watch live music or a play at one of the city’s theatres and venues. If you’re here in the Summer, don’t miss the chance to see a Shakespeare play in the private garden of one of the Cambridge colleges.
