 We are one of the world's oldest universities and

leading academic centres, and a self-governed community of scholars. Cambridge comprises 31 Colleges and over 150 departments, faculties, schools and other institutions.

 In addition to the 31 colleges, the university is made up of over 150

departments, faculties, schools, syndicates and other institutions. Members of these are usually also members of one of the colleges and responsibility for running the entire academic programme of the university is divided amongst them. A "School" in the University of Cambridge is a broad administrative grouping of related faculties and other units. Each has an elected supervisory bodythe "Council" of the schoolcomprising representatives of the constituent bodies. There are six schools:[32] Arts and Humanities Biological Sciences Clinical Medicine Humanities and Social Sciences Physical Sciences Technology

 The academic year is divided into three academic

terms, determined by the Statutes of the University. Michaelmas Term lasts from October to December;Lent Term from January to March; and Easter Term from April to June. Within these terms undergraduate teaching takes place within eight-week periods called Full Terms. These terms are shorter than those of many other British universities. Undergraduates are also expected to prepare heavily in the three holidays (known as the Christmas, Easter and Long Vacations).

The university has more than 100 libraries. The Cambridge University Library is the central research library, which holds over 8 million volumes and, in contrast with the Bodleian or the British Library, many of its books are available on open shelves. It is a legal deposit library, therefore it is entitled to request a free copy of every book published in the UK and Ireland. It receives around 80,000 books every year.

In addition to the University Library and its dependent libraries, every faculty has a specialised library, which, on average, holds from 30,000 to 150,000 books; for example the History Faculty's Seeley Historical Library posess more than 100.000 books. Also, every college has a library as well, partially for the purposes of undergraduate teaching, and the older colleges often possess many early books and manuscripts in a separate library. For example Trinity College's Wren Library, Cambridge has more than 200,000 books printed before 1800, while the Parker Library, Corpus Christi College posess one of the greatest early medieval European manuscript collections in the World, with over 600 manuscripts. The total number of books owned by the university is about 13 million.
