Newnham College

There is a genuine pride in Newnham as a haven of liberal thinking and it makes a big difference to a student’s everday life. I have never been aware of cliques or types in Newnham, just a great mix of happy lively people. Jenny

All Cambridge Colleges have a lot to offer: great facilities, beautiful gardens, supportive lecturers and a friendly environment. So what makes Newnham special?

• The people: we are a diverse and dynamic community. There is no such thing as a typical Newnhamite – you can be yourself.
• Academic excellence: if you enjoy an intellectual challenge, this is the place for you.
• A central location: close to the city and the river. Most arts departments are just across the road and science departments are a short walk or bike ride away.
• Masses of space: our beautiful gardens are the perfect place to laze and revise. And everyone can walk on the grass, not just the Fellows.
• Excellent facilities: state-of-the-art IT provision, a library with more than 90,000 books, a brand new cafeteria with sofas and a breakfast bar, wellequipped student kitchens, a performing arts centre, an art room, a multi-gym, a huge sports field and much more.
• On-site accommodation for at least three years: you don’t have to move out in your second or third year, so everything is always on your doorstep.
• Easy access to advice and support for any financial hardship.
• Active student representation: we have one of the largest student committees in Cambridge. Newcomers are quickly made to feel that they belong and can contribute.
• An ideal launch pad into university life, from sport to seminars, from plays to politics: life for students at Newnham is not single-sex. You will make friends across the University – not just at Newnham – although those you make here will be particularly special.
• A network of friends for life: our former students regularly come back to offer careers advice and work placements.

We encourage applications from students of all races, faiths and social backgrounds and are deeply committed to access, but admissions decisions are based exclusively on academic merit.

To find out more contact the Admissions Office. But why not come and see for yourself? You can visit on your own or with your school – just arrange a date. We also hold regular open events – check our website for details.

There is no better place for a woman to study. Newnham changes lives – come and try it. You won’t regret it!
