The University of Cambridge commonly referred to as Cambridge University or simply Cambridge is an institution of higher learning based in England. Cambridge was established in 1209 [1] by scholars fleeing the hostility of the townsmen in Oxford.
Cambridge is a confederation of colleges, faculties and institutions[2]. 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.
