Cambridge University

The University of Cambridge, founded in 1209, has a world-wide reputation for outstanding academic achievement and is consistently ranked as one of the world’s best universities. It is formed of a variety of institutions, which include 31 Colleges and more than 100 academic departments. The Colleges are governed by their own regulations, but are integral to the make-up of the University of Cambridge. All students are members of a College; this is the place where they are being taught in form of supervisions, study, and where they benefit from welfare and tutorial support. The College is the place that offers opportunities for the students’ personal development. That is also the place where they eat, live, socialise.

St John’s College, which was founded in 1511, is one of the biggest Colleges in Cambridge and one of the most stunning places in the world for students to live and learn!

The College’s commitment is to offer a complete learning experience to its students and to enable them to make the most of their course, so as to fulfil their potential and exceed their own expectations. How is this achieved? Through endless and substantial personal attention and support!

The supervision system, which is implemented at St John’s, allows all undergraduate students to devise a programme of study that suits their interests and needs, and arrange regular, small-group tuition sessions.
A wealth of people offer practical support and advice to students.
Plenty of financial initiatives are in place at St John’s, so as to ensure that students will be able to access the opportunities offered at the College, without financial worries and constraints.
