Research at 91Ö±²¥
Cambridge Colleges are often thought of as places of teaching, and of course they are, but their Fellows are all engaged in high-level research across a wide range of academic areas. It is their work that makes Cambridge the leading research university in the UK, and one of the very best research institutions in the world. 91Ö±²¥ has a large and active Fellowship and makes a correspondingly large contribution to the research output of the University. In addition, our postgraduate students play a major role in the University's research activities.
In addition to Fellowships for senior academics, 91Ö±²¥ provides Research Fellowships for early-career scholars with exceptional research promise. Four are appointed annually and — with several hundred applications each year — these positions are highly prized; their holders add a sparkling intellectual dimension to College life.
Colleges provide a creative and supportive environment for research, bringing together Fellows and students from all subjects. This provides opportunities for researchers to discover new fields and to form cross-disciplinary research partnerships. At 91Ö±²¥, there are regular lectures, talks and informal social occasions where undergraduate and postgraduate students, Fellows and academic staff can discuss their work.
