Colleges
Cambridge University is organised on a collegiate basis, with 31 Colleges. The Colleges provide accommodation, access to dining and sporting facilities and various forms of student support.
All LLM students have a Director of Studies in their College who is able to provide general academic support. Most Colleges also have a graduate tutor who can provide pastoral support.
By contrast, lectures, seminars and small group teaching for the Cambridge LLM programme are provided exclusively by the Faculty of Law.
LLM students are encouraged to participate fully in the rich academic and social life of their College. Most Colleges have their own law societies and other alumni networks complementing those offered by the Faculty and the University.
Further information about the Colleges is available on either the University of Cambridge Graduate Admissions Office (GAO) website or on the individual College websites or via the University's website. Whichever College you join – and they are all different – experience tells us it will add something memorable to your year in Cambridge.
More detail on how Colleges and students are matched is also available on the GAO website.
