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. A person with a degree from Cambridge can put 'Cantab.' after their name and degree, ''Cantab.'' being short for the Latin name for the town, which is ''Cantabrigia''.
