The College

Fitzwilliam College is a modern, open-minded, confident, inclusive academic community with a unique history. It is one of 31 colleges in the University of Cambridge. The College's identity is built upon our commitment to providing an environment for academic excellence to flourish so that our wider impact is felt in the life-changing higher education and ground-breaking research that happens at 'Fitz'. This is coupled with our founding ethos to offer opportunity to those left outside of the traditional structures of the Collegiate Cambridge system. Access to education is in our DNA. We remain passionately proud and committed to this founding purpose.


The College encompasses around 1,000 people including staff, Fellows, Bye-Fellows undergraduates and postgraduates. In common with all other colleges of the University of Cambridge, Fitzwilliam is an independent, self-governing institution.


The College enjoys a large seven-acre site within 10 minutes' cycle ride of all the major faculties and departments. At the heart of our beautiful grounds is a fine Regency house. Most of our award-winning contemporary architecture dates from the 1960s onwards including a state-of-the-art auditorium and the Olisa Library.


Fitzwilliam began in 1869 as a non-collegiate institution, with the specific purpose of providing a Cambridge education to students who were unable to afford membership of a college. The community became a full college in 1966 and moved to our current site at that time.


Fitzwilliam College values diversity and is committed to equality of opportunity. Applications are welcome from everyone irrespective of age, disability, gender, gender reassignment, pregnancy, maternity/paternity, marital status or civil partnership, race, national original, sexual orientation or any other protected characteristic.
