Wolfson College

The unique thing about Wolfson is not only that you work with people from different academic backgrounds and levels, but also people from all over the world. James

Wolfson is one of the most cosmopolitan Colleges in Cambridge with typically 90-150 mature or affiliated undergraduates in residence, about 15 per cent of the total College student population. Typically 60 per cent of students are male and 40 per cent female; average age 27. Wolfson welcomes mature undergraduates (21 and over) and has the largest number of affiliated students in the University. In addition, Wolfson is one of three Colleges that admit students for the Graduate Course in Medicine.

The College has a lively, friendly atmosphere and an international character. Its life is enriched by the high proportion (about 50 per cent) of overseas students, from over 70 countries. A wide range of subject specialisms is represented among both Fellows and students. The breadth of membership is further extended by senior academic visitors from abroad and by people from journalism, industry and the public services who come to Wolfson for short periods of research and study. The relationship between senior and junior members is informal; common rooms, facilities and social activities are equally open to both. Spouses and partners of members are welcome and can participate in College life.

The College is situated in West Cambridge, close to the University Library and the arts faculties. Most other University departments, and the city centre, are about 10 minutes away by bicycle. The main buildings of Wolfson College were built in the 1970s around attractive garden courts. The College has accommodation for most students who want to live in College. All rooms have central heating, telephone and computer sockets, most are single study bedrooms, some with en suite and some with shared facilities, with access to well-equipped kitchens. There is also some accommodation for couples.

The College has a spacious library, two computer rooms equipped with a combination of PC and Macintosh machines which allow access to the University network, email and the internet, together with laser printing facilities.

Students are welcome to tour the College on an informal basis at any time. Please contact the College Admissions Administrator or see the website for further information.
