BackA Cambridge college like

We are a thriving global community of mature students.
“The community here is highly diverse with 80+ 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.”
English tripos student, Dion (UK)
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.
“I stepped away from the lab to pursue advanced training in public health and policy at Cambridge. This transformative chapter has been far more than only academic. It has awakened a strong interest in diplomacy, multilateralism, and international cooperation in health, all of which are more essential than ever in today’s global health landscape.”
PhD student Anthony (Peru)
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.
A serene and inspiring environment in which to live, learn and belong.
Our campus is situated in the desirable West End of Cambridge. It’s 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 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 College is a home for globally minded mature students, aged 21 and over.
Our multicultural and diverse community welcomes students from all faiths and none, providing a friendly, warm and egalitarian atmosphere that feels like a home from home.
There are plenty of opportunities to get involved in student life.
From volunteering in Eddies, the student-run bar, to taking part in open mic nights or rowing in the Boat Club.
Our campus offers a variety of well-equipped facilities and wellbeing spaces.
Including our modernised gym, newly renovated library and contemporary accommodation.
My experiences at St Edmund’s showed me how powerful inclusive environments can be for fostering global connections. It was easy to connect with people from all over the world, from Peru, India, Kenya, to the United States of America. The college’s vibrant community and global values shaped my mindset to become aware of global experiences other than my own.
MPhil student Sheunesu (Zimbabwe)
With over 300 rooms on site, including 200 en-suites and a number of family friendly flats, all students living on-site are guaranteed a warm, comfortable and contemporary room throughout their studies.
We ensure that all of our single undergraduate students, Foundation Year students and Graduate Medicine students are guaranteed accommodation in College for the duration of their degrees.
