Cambridge is a confederation of colleges, faculties and institutions[http://www.cam.ac.uk/cambuniv/pubs/works/]. The University administration is relatively small compared to the size of the University. Many functions that are normally carried out by the central university bureaucracy in other universities are carried out by the colleges. The functions of the colleges include teaching and research. Degrees are however conferred by the University.
