Cambridge campus

Cambridge has been renowned as a centre of learning since the 13th century – and we’ve been here since 1858 when Cambridge School of Art first opened its doors. Today, our friendly, bustling campus is a stone’s throw from the historic city centre with its vibrant cultural and social scene.
