Studying at Robinson

Colleges are what make Cambridge University different from most other Universities.

Our key expectations of you are that you work hard to fulfil your academic potential and that you add to the Robinson community. Your College Director of Studies is a specialist in your course who will oversee your studies and guide you as you choose your course options. Directors of Studies arrange and provide Supervisions, the small group teaching sessions for which Cambridge is justly famous.

Your Faculty or Department provides lectures, seminars, practicals, examples classes for students from all the Colleges. These core teaching elements of your course are the same, regardless of which College you are at.

What are the attributes of our successful students?

Passion and real enthusiasm for your course, good organisational and motivational skills are the key attributes.

What resources and facilities do we provide?

In the College library you will find the main undergraduate text books, particularly for the first two years of your degree.

In the computer room you will find twelve Windows PCs, two Macs and two printers and all bedrooms have ethernet connections to the University network.

Supervisions are an opportunity for you to learn from an expert in the field.
