Cambridge is most widely known as the home of the University of Cambridge founded in 1209, which has been consistently ranked one of the top five universities in the world

In 1209, students escaping from hostile townspeople in Oxford fled to Cambridge and formed a university there. The oldest college that still exists, Peterhouse, was founded in 1284. One of the most well-known buildings in Cambridge, King's College Chapel, was begun in 1446 by King Henry VI. The project was completed in 1515 during the reign of King Henry VIII.

În 1604 universităţii i-a fost acordat dreptul de a trimite doi reprezentanţi în parlament. Acest privilegiu a fost pierdut abia în anul 1949

În secolul XVI, în perioada Reformei, remarcabilul învăţat olandez, Erasmus din Rotterdam a predat aici greaca şi latina

At the University of Cambridge, Erasmus was the Lady Margaret's Professor of Divinity and had the option of spending the rest of his life as an English professor. He stayed at Queens' College, Cambridge from 1510 to 1515, and may have been an alumnus.

Spre deosebire de elitistul Oxford, la Cambridge studiază tot mai mulţi studenţi care nu provin din cele mai bogate straturi ale societăţii

The University of Cambridge used to have a seat in the House of Commons, Sir Isaac Newton being one of the most notable holders. The Cambridge University constituency was abolished under 1948 legislation, and ceased at the dissolution of Parliament for the 1950 general election, along with the other university constituencies.
