Robinson is an excellent college at which to study Computer Science. We have four Fellows in the subject, all of whom take an active part in small group teaching in the college, and this means that our Computer Science students are very well supported. Robinson is also only a ten minute, traffic-free walk, away from the Computer Laboratory and therefore is one of the closest colleges to the department.
Computer Science students find Robinson a friendly and stimulating place to study. This is partly due to the college's modern outlook, but also because Robinson’s Computer Science intake is one of the largest amongst the Cambridge colleges and, as a result, we have an active and vibrant community of undergraduate and graduate computer scientists.
