I have really enjoyed the first two years of my law degree, and everyone in the Law Faculty has been very helpful in accommodating me.

Cambridge University contains a vast range of academic institutions. Most undergraduates will study at a Department or Faculty, but lectures, exams and supervisions may be held at separate shared buildings and lecture halls spread over the city. See the ‘Sites and Shared Buildings’ section of this guide for more information on individual sites, lecture halls and shared buildings.

Graduate Students are often likely to study at Postgraduate Research Centres and Institutes.
