Teaching
Cambridge is known and respected across the globe for the excellence of our teaching and research, and the quality of our graduates. You are taught in lectures and seminars by academics who are experts in their field. This is reinforced by supervision - personal tuition which explores topics in more detail.
How you're taught
Tuition is organised by either the Faculty of Classics or the Faculty of Modern and Medieval Languages and Linguistics. The faculty, or a department of the faculty, will arrange lectures, seminars and practicals attended by students from all the Colleges.
Each academic year is organised by the University and consists of three eight-week terms. And during this time, you’re expected to spend, on average, 42-46 hours a week on your academic studies (including teaching/contact time and independent study). You'll also need to undertake some work during the vacations (eg further reading/research, revision, assignments).
There is pleanty of advice and support to help you.
