The College feels ambitious, full of energy and at the same time friendly and welcoming. Murray Edwards encourages you to grow as a person, both intellectually and emotionally.Diana

Murray Edwards College is a welcoming and ambitious College providing opportunities for outstanding young women. Architecturally light and modern, it's set within informal gardens a short walk from central Cambridge and close to the departments of Mathematics, Physics and Veterinary Medicine.

We understand that as a prospective student you'll be concerned to achieve your best academically, while enjoying an active social life. In the current economic situation, you may also be concerned about the longer term and how you'll find a rewarding career that suits your strengths and interests. We would like to help you achieve this.

Academically

We offer a positive and creative atmosphere with a stunning library and supportive academic tutors. In addition, we invite you to enhance your own particular strengths by choosing activities from our unique interdisciplinary academic development programme. Designed with the help of current students, the programme offers insights, techniques and challenges to inspire and stretch you.

Professionally

Your longer term future is crucially important. We offer the opportunity to explore your career interests through discussion with specialist consultants and through a rapidly expanding range of College-negotiated and supported internship opportunities.

Socially

Ours is a diverse and open-minded community. We enjoy good food, including a popular salad bar and Saturday brunch. Bedrooms, bathrooms and kitchens are comfortable and well-equipped. The atmosphere is very informal; with many parties and 'ents', often jointly organised with neighbouring Colleges, and your friends (male and female) are welcome at any time. We also have a gym, tennis court and squash court on-site and a thriving boat club based at our boathouse on the river.

What does it mean to be a women's College today?

Murray Edwards' history means that a pioneering spirit is in our DNA. Much has changed since 1954, but the confidence and individuality of our first students remains central. Recent students have variously described the College as 'iconoclastic', 'feisty', 'liberal' and 'innovative' but most of all it remains what the women who choose to come here make it.

Students who visit Murray Edwards College often tell us that it has a special character. Come and see us for yourself, you will be very welcome.
