About Company

Fitzwilliam College is a dynamic, welcoming and international community committed to developing the talents of all its students, numbering some 750 (including postgraduates). One of the 31 colleges of the University, it was founded in 1869 specifically to broaden access to Cambridge.

We sustain that tradition of ensuring that every student, whatever their background, can fulfil their potential and take advantage of the incomparably rich opportunities offered here. But this is also a forward-looking place, consistent with the College's motto of 'The Best of the Old and the New'.

At the heart of its beautiful grounds is a fine Regency house once occupied by Emma Darwin. Most of its award-winning buildings date from the 1960s onwards, including some of the best student accommodation in Cambridge, a state-of-the-art auditorium and the Olisa Library.

Fitzwilliam began in 1869 as a non-collegiate institution, providing Cambridge education to undergraduates who were unable to afford membership of a college. Teaching was initially organized from a handsome house opposite the Fitzwilliam Museum. 'Fitzwilliam House' - as the institution was then known - moved into new buildings on its present Huntingdon Road site in 1963, and received its Royal Charter in 1966, becoming Fitzwilliam College.

The College is built in the grounds of The Grove, a splendid Regency house which is itself now part of the College. The first student residences and the distinctive Hall Building, designed by Sir Denys Lasdun, were completed in 1966.
