Part III E-C translation

The University of Cambridge is a place, a community, and an institution. It is also a pervasive presence in the world. The Cambridge University community is preponderantly British: 75% of our academic staff are British, 85% of our undergraduates, and almost 50% of our postgraduates. Collegiate Cambridge remains deeply committed to the education of outstanding British students.

That assertion is fully consonant with a Cambridge fast becoming more international in many, many ways. A wealth of research collaborations between Cambridge academics and colleagues around the world are documented in the online International Directory to be launched by the University this year.
