Colleges of the University of Cambridge

From Freepedia

This is a list of the colleges within the University of Cambridge. The University of Cambridge currently has 31 colleges, of which three admit only women (New Hall, Newnham and Lucy Cavendish). The remaining 28 are mixed, Magdalene being the last all-male college to admit women in 1988. Two colleges admit only postgraduates (Clare Hall and Darwin), and four more admit mainly mature students or graduate students (Hughes Hall, Lucy Cavendish, St Edmund's and Wolfson). The other 25 colleges admit mainly undergraduate students, but also postgraduates following courses of study or research. Although various colleges are traditionally strong in a particular subject, for example Churchill has a bias towards the sciences, the colleges all admit students from the whole range of subjects.

This list does not include several historical colleges which no longer exist. Some examples of these are:

• King's Hall (which was founded in 1317)
• Gonville Hall (founded in 1348 and re-founded in 1557 as Gonville & Caius)
• Michaelhouse (which King Henry VIII combined with King's Hall to make Trinity in 1546).

There are also several theological colleges in Cambridge, (for example Westminster College and Ridley Hall Theological College) that are loosely affiliated with the university through the Cambridge Theological Federation.
