University of Cambridge

The university grew out of a group of scholars who left Oxford for Cambridge in 1209, and its oldest college, Peterhouse, was founded in 1284. It is a collegiate university of 31 colleges, which house students and run small-group teaching called supervisions, while faculties and departments give lectures and carry out research. Its scientific history includes Isaac Newton and the Cavendish Laboratory, which opened in the 1870s.
