A Cambridge college like 
no other

Explore four reasons that St Edmund’s offers mature students the best University of Cambridge experience.

Global talent

We are a thriving global community empowered to shape the future.

“The community here is highly diverse with 40+ nationalities all in one place. I now have friends from all over the world offering me new perspectives on global cultures. There is an insatiable interest to learn about other cultures here which i’ve never experienced anywhere else”

A place where people from all cultures and backgrounds flourish intellectually, physically and spiritually.

Our diverse community isn't just a matter of pride: with it comes the potential for truly original collaborative thinking, learning and problem solving.

Many of the world’s great challenges are global in nature and demand global minded leaders. At St Edmund’s we are connectors of resources and talent across cultural and political boundaries – leading new ways of creating value.

Ideal location

A serene and inspiring environment in which to live, learn and belong.

Our campus is situated in the desirable West End of Cambridge. It is a compact campus, and uniquely positioned with all facilities, such as the library, lecture halls and accommodation, within walking distance from each other.

Our leafy 10-acre campus is just a short 10 minute walk away from the buzzing city centre and iconic River Cam.

Situated in a peaceful pocket of Cambridge, offering a truly 'best of both worlds' location.

Unlike most other Cambridge colleges, the grass here is very much for use. The extensive area of grounds at St Edmund’s allows for a large variety of outside events to be held for the college community throughout the year which are always unmissable and highly memorable occasions.

All accommodation is located on campus, meaning you're only ever a short walk away from the University's core facilities, including the library, sports centre and central gym.

“St Edmund’s is so well situated. From my halls, I can reach the centre of town in 10 minutes, the university library and gym in 20, and the heart of the English countryside in less than 30!”
