Downing College is a unique academic community: diverse, close-knit and committed. The College’s purpose is to provide a world-class education to the students with the most potential in each subject, whatever their means or social background.
We believe that all forms of discrimination – by colour, by gender, by social background or by sexual orientation – are unacceptable.
We are a diverse and welcoming scholarly community. For the academic year 2018-19, our lively community consisted of 49 Fellows, 470 undergraduates (including three visiting students), and 342 graduates, including 49 students who were ‘writing up’ and 77 part-time students. The work of the College is supported by 177 staff (FTE 141.4).
Our College’s beautiful neo-classical buildings are set among spacious and peaceful gardens in the heart of Cambridge city centre, close to many University faculties and departments.
The College is one of 31 colleges within the University of Cambridge, which is consistently ranked among the top universities in the world. Each college is autonomous, self-governing and distinctive.
