Cambridge is home to the Cambridge Biomedical Campus which is at the cutting edge of biomedical research.

The most famous aspect of Cambridge is its university which was founded in 1209 and is ranked to be amongst the five top universities in the world.

The University of Cambridge is formed from 31 constituent colleges with over one hundred academic departments which are organised into six schools.

The university operates around eight art, culture and scientific centres, including the botanic garden and the Fitzwilliam Museum. The libraries of the University of Cambridge have around 15 million books. The main subjects taught at this university are arts and sciences but has a strong history in the sector of applied mathematics and mathematical physics.
