Pembroke College

I chose Pembroke because of its community spirit. It’s a great College – friendly and fun. Nicola

Whichever College you come to, you will attend the same lectures, take the same University examinations, and be awarded the same degree. That being so, why choose Pembroke?

• Pembroke is one of the oldest Colleges, founded in 1347, with beautiful buildings (including a chapel built by Sir Christopher Wren) and a student accommodation block complete with gym and music rooms, and a new art room.
• It is in the centre of town, right by the science laboratories.
• The informal College gardens are some of the loveliest in Cambridge, but are not on the main tourist route.
• The College is slightly smaller than average, admitting about 130 undergraduates and 70 graduates each year. The College has one of the highest ratios of Teaching Fellows to students.
• There are two rooms equipped for wheelchair use.
• Pembroke is a friendly, no-nonsense place; relaxed, supportive and forwardlooking.

Pembroke is proud of its academic achievements. We consider such success to be important, and do our best to make sure that our students enjoy the intellectual challenges they encounter. But excellence comes in many forms: it is also important that those who come here have time to explore other interests, and we have flourishing societies for music, sport, drama and so on (see our website for further details).

We regularly make offers to those studying for the IB, the EB or Scottish Advanced Highers. Pembroke was a founder member of the Group to Encourage Ethnic Minority Applications (GEEMA). We are happy to give advice to those wishing to apply through the Cambridge Special Access Scheme. In our experience students from different school backgrounds, both from the UK and overseas, are equally happy at Pembroke, and do equally well here.

The Admissions Office is open to visitors without an appointment throughout the year, Monday to Friday during office hours (except Bank Holidays, Christmas and New Year).
