History

作为最古老的大学之一，剑桥大学有漫长的历史和底蕴，剑桥市大约在875年就已经存在，历经数千年的风雨洗礼，剑桥大学才一步步成为世界顶尖大学，以下是学校部分历史介绍的节选，有兴趣的同学可以作为英文读物

Earlyrecords

When we first come across Cambridge inwritten records, it was already a considerable town. The bridge across theRiver Cam or Granta, from which the town took its name, had existed since atleast 875. The town was an important trading centre before the Domesday surveywas compiled in 1086, by which time a castle stood on the rising ground to thenorth of the bridge, and there were already substantial commercial andresidential properties as well as several churches in the main settlement whichlay south of the bridge.

Within the town, or very close to it, therewere a number of other religious institutions. There had been canons in theChurch of St Giles below the castle before 1112, when they moved to a new siteacross the River Cam at Barnwell, and the Convent of St Radegund had existedsince 1135 on the site which eventually became Jesus College. There were alsotwo hospitals, one reserved for lepers at Stourbridge, and a second, foundedfor paupers and dedicated to St John, which after 1200 occupied the site whereSt John's College now stands. Seventeen miles north of the town was the greatBenedictine house of Ely which, after 1109, was the seat of a Bishopric.

The Medieval University

The students who flocked to Cambridge soonarranged their scheme of study after the pattern which had become common inItaly and France, and which they would have known in Oxford. They studied firstwhat would now be termed a 'foundation course' in arts - grammar, logic andrhetoric - followed later by arithmetic, music, geometry and astronomy, leadingto the degrees of bachelor and master. There were no professors; the teachingwas conducted by masters who had themselves passed through the course and whohad been approved or licensed by the whole body of their colleagues (theuniversitas or university). The teaching took the form of reading andexplaining texts; the examinations were oral disputations in which thecandidates advanced a series of questions or theses which they disputed orargued with opponents a little senior to themselves, and finally with themasters who had taught them. Some of the masters, but by no means all, went onto advanced studies in divinity, canon and civil law, and, more rarely,medicine, which were taught and examined in the same way by those who hadalready passed through the course and become doctors. The doctors groupedthemselves into specific faculties.

The physical setting

In its earliest days, the University had nopremises of its own: it relied on parish churches, especially Great St Mary'sand St Benedict's (or 'Bene't's') and on the premises of the religious orders,as sites for its public ceremonies. Lectures, disputations and lodgings werefound in private houses which frequently changed hands or went out of use. Soona few groups of Regent Masters, lawyers and theologians, began to build or hirelarger premises for teaching and lodging. A few of the hostels survived untilthe sixteenth century when they were often acquired as part of the premises ofColleges. Unlike the Colleges, hostels had few endowments and were alwaysprivately owned.

Sixteenth century

The effect of the early academic andreligious changes of the century can be seen in the physical appearance of thetown: a great new College, Trinity, was founded by Henry VIII from the twosmall houses of King's Hall and Michaelhouse; Dr Caius enlarged Gonville Hallto make it almost a new foundation, called Gonville and Caius College, whichoccupied a large site close to the Old Schools; Emmanuel absorbed the Dominicansite, Sidney Sussex that of the Franciscans, and Magdalene absorbed the formerBenedictine house of studies known as Buckingham College. These new foundationswere concerned with the education of men for the priesthood in the nationalchurch, but they, and Trinity especially, attracted for the first time largenumbers of lay students.

The Georgian/Hanoverian University

Printing had been undertaken in Cambridgein the 1520s and a Royal charter in 1534 gave to the University the power toname (or license) three printers (stationers) who were to print and publishworks which it approved. Another fifty years were to pass before this privilegewas regularly exercised and it eventually developed into the University Press.From 1584, regular publication began under the University's privilege andcontinued more or less steadily but did not achieve real force until RichardBentley's reorganisation in the last decade of the seventeenth century providednew premises and types. These improvements allowed the University Press in duecourse to exploit more fully the monopoly of Bible printing which it sharedwith Oxford and the 'King's Printers', and to produce a steady stream of worksessential to the development of its studies. The Cambridge University Presscontinues to this day as one of the oldest and largest academic publishers inthe world.

Nineteenth and twentieth centuries

Despite these developments, there was inthe first half of the nineteenth century a continued call for change and reformin the University, which in part reflected the political movements of thecountry as a whole. The election as Chancellor of Prince Albert the PrinceConsort in 1847 is an indication of the strength of the movement for reform,and in 1850 a Royal Commission was appointed to inquire into the two ancientuniversities of Oxford and Cambridge. The Commission's report resulted in thepromulgation of new Statutes for Cambridge in the Cambridge University Act of1856. These Statutes have been much revised since their first appearance, butthe form of government which they embodied has remained as a framework. Theultimate authority in the University was at first the Senate, the whole body ofgraduates, together with the Chancellor, Vice-Chancellor, and doctors.

The University after 1945

This period has seen an accelerated rate ofdevelopment in almost every direction. The reputation of Cambridge scientistshad already been established in the late nineteenth century by Clerk Maxwelland the Darwins among others and was maintained afterwards by J. J. Thomson,Lord Rayleigh and Lord Rutherford. Work done by their pupils and associatesduring the Second World War greatly increased this reputation and large numbersof students anxious to use the laboratories flocked to the University and tothe growing number of government-sponsored institutions established in the town(which was chartered as a city in 1951). University departments and researchinstitutes were established as new areas of study developed, and with them newteaching courses.

Courses at Cambridge

At Cambridge, we offer a range of courses,across the arts, humanities, and sciences. One of the most distinctivecharacteristics of our courses (also called Triposes*) is that theygenerally cover the subject area very broadly in the initial years and then awide range of specialist options in the later years.

If you know what you want to focus on youcan start to specialise early on or, if you’re undecided, you can delayspecialising until you’ve had the chance to fully explore the breadth of yoursubject and developed your interests. Either way, by graduation you’ll have thesame depth of understanding and specialist knowledge as other graduates in thefield.

Generally, the number of subjects to choosefrom increases each year. In addition, some papers (topics) are offered innumerous courses. For example, some Classics and language papers are availablein the English course. Beyond any compulsory papers you can usually select yourtopics from a variety of options.

在剑桥，我们提供一系列课程，涵盖艺术、人文和科学。我们的课程(又称Triposes*)最显著的特点之一是在最初几年，它们通常广泛地涵盖主题领域，在以后几年则涵盖范围广泛的专业选择

如果你知道你想专注于什么，你可以尽早开始专攻，如果你还没有决定，你可以推迟专门研究，直到你有机会充分探索你的主题的广度和发展你的兴趣。不管哪种方式，到毕业时你都将拥有与该领域其他毕业生一样的深度理解和专业知识

一般来说，可供选择的科目数目每年都在增加。此外，在许多课程中提供了一些论文(主题)。例如，英语课程中有一些经典和语言论文。除了任何强制性的论文，你通常可以从各种选项中选择你的主题

Course structure

Our courses are divided into 'Parts', witheach Part lasting one or two years. In each Part, you take a number of 'papers'(subjects, topics) – some of these are compulsory papers that all students musttake; and some are optional, meaning you choose a certain number from a rangeof optional papers available that year. See course outlines and refer to thefaculty/department websites for details.

You must pass exams in two Parts tograduate with an Honours degree, and all of our degrees lead to the award of aBA (Hons). Engineering and some science subjects also have a further optionalPart that leads to an MEng or MSci degree. Each course fact file indicates thedegree(s) awarded.

However, students who are studyinga second undergraduate degree and already have a BA with Honoursfrom the University of Cambridge will not be a candidate for Honours inany Honours examination.

All of our undergraduate degrees arefull-time courses. All students must ordinarily be available to study inCambridge for the full duration of their course (with the exception of a yearabroad, where part of the course).

我们的课程分为“部分”，每一部分为期一到两年。在每一部分中，你都会选择一些“论文”(科目、主题)，其中一些是所有学生必须参加的必修课；还有一些是可选的

你必须通过两部分考试才能获得荣誉学位，我们所有的学位都会获得BA学位(荣誉)。工程学和一些科学学科也有更多的可选部分，从而获得Meng学位或MSci学位

正在修读第二个学士学位，并已取得剑桥大学荣誉学士学位的学生，将不会成为任何荣誉考试的候选人，我们所有的本科学位都是全日制课程

Shared papers

Many of our courses encompass severalsubjects – more than 65 subjects are offered within our 30 undergraduatecourses – and, generally speaking, the number of options to choose fromincreases each year.

In addition, some options/topics (usuallycalled papers at Cambridge) are available in several degree courses where thesubjects overlap – these are known as 'shared' papers, but may also be referredto as 'borrowed' papers – for example (see the course outlinesfordetails):

some Classics and language papers areavailable in the English course

some Human, Social, and Political Sciencespapers are available to Education students

Psychological and Behavioural Sciences‘shares’ the Evolution and Behaviour paper from the Natural Sciences course

This means that, beyond any compulsorypapers, you can usually tailor your course to your own specifications and yourchoices may not be limited to those within your immediate subject field.

我们的课程包括多个科目，在我们的30门本科课程中提供了超过65门课程。此外，在科目重叠的几个学位课程中，也有一些选项/主题(通常称为剑桥的论文)--这些课程被称为“共享”论文

在英语课程中有一些经典和语言的论文，一些人文、社会科学和政治科学的论文提供给教育学生，心理学和行为科学的份额--自然科学课程的进化和行为论文。这意味着，除了任何必修的论文，你通常可以根据你自己的要求定制你的课程，你的选择可能不局限于你的直接学科领域

Assessment

Our courses offer a good compromise betweenthe continuous assessment favoured by some universities and the emphasis placedon final exams by others.

There are summative assessments for all thepapers you've taken at the end of each Part, which together determine yourresult for that Part. Each Part of the course is self-contained and you get aseparate result for each Part – we don't operate a credit system so there's noaveraging out of your Part results for your final degree result (class).

Therefore, your degree certificate won'tstate an overall class (first, 2.1 etc). However, you'll be issued an academictranscript to accompany your certificate that contains the titles of and marksyou achieved for each paper taken, as well as the class obtained for each Part.

In order to achieve an Honours degree youmust pass examinations at both Part I and Part II.

Written exams are the main form ofsummative assessment used – typically, you sit between four and eight writtenexams for each Part.

In many science subjects, a specifiedamount of practical work is assessed.

Most courses include a research project ordissertation – these may be in addition to or as a substitute for a writtenexam.

Results of assessments are typicallyreleased between four and eight weeks after exams/submission.

With the exception of professionalqualifying examinations in Medicine and Veterinary Medicine, there usuallyaren't oportunities to resit any exams at Cambridge.

See the course outlines andindividual department/faculty websites for details about assessment methods.

我们的课程提供了一个很好的评估方案，一方面是大学支持的持续评估，另一方面是大学对期末考试的重视。在每个部分的末尾，你都会对所有的论文进行总结性的评估，这共同构成了你这一部分的评价结果。课程的每一部分都是独立的，每个部分都有一个独立的结果，我们没有实行学分制，所以最终学位成绩(课程)是没有平均的

因此学位证书不会说明整个课程(第一、2.1等)。最终你将获得一份成绩单，并附上你的证书，其中包括每一篇论文的题目和分数，以及每一篇论文的课程。为了获得荣誉学位，你必须通过第一部分和第二部分的考试

笔试是使用的终结性评估的主要形式，通常每个部分都有四到八个笔试。在许多科学学科中，对特定数量的实际工作进行评估。大多数课程包括一个研究项目或论文，这些课程可能是对笔试的补充，也可能是书面考试的替代。评估结果通常在考试/提交后4到8周内公布。除了医学和兽医的专业资格考试外，剑桥大学通常没有附加考试的要求

Changing course

Due to scope and flexibility of ourcourses, most students stay on the same degree course. However, it's possibleto change course after one or two years.

Most changes are within the sciences orwithin the arts, but students can switch between broad areas as well. Noteverything is possible but there’s a surprising degree of flexibility and, assuch, a wide range of subject combinations are available. The more popular/commoncourse changes are listed under the relevant course information.

To be able to change course, you need theagreement of your College that any change is in your educational interests, andyou must have the necessary background in the subject to which you wish tochange – in some cases you may be required to undertake some catch-up work ortake up the new course from the start/an earlier year. If you think you maywish to change course, we encourage you to contact a Collrege admissionsoffice for advice. You should also consider if/how changing course mayaffect any financial support arrangements

由于我们课程的范围和灵活性，大多数学生都选择相同的学位课程。在一到两年之后，改变路线是可能的。大多数变化都出现在科学或艺术领域，但学生也可以在广泛的领域之间进行转换。因此广泛的主题组合是可用的。要想改变课程，你需要得到学院的同意，任何改变都符合你的教育利益，但是你必须具备你想要改变的学科的必要背景。某些情况下，你可能需要通过课程弥补，或者从学年开始接受新课程

How you're taught

Our University faculties and departmentsarrange lectures, seminars and practicals that students from all Collegesattend together. At Cambridge, you’ll also attend supervisions, a system ofpersonal tuition that is one of our greatest strengths. Your College alsoarranges supervisions for you.

Each academic year consists ofthree eight-week terms and you must ordinarily be available to study inCambridge for the duration of your course (with the exception of a year abroad,where part of your course). As the terms are short, the pace and volume of workis likely to be greater than you’re currently used to and there’s much greater emphasis on independent andself-directed study here compared to school or college.

During term time,you’re expected to spend an average of 42-46 hours a week on your academicstudies (including teaching/contact time and independent study), and you alsoneed to undertake some work, such as further reading or research, revision orassignments, during the vacations.

Every studentadjusts to this new workload in their own way and time, and there are plenty ofpeople who can offer advice and support while you get settled in and throughout your degree.

剑桥大学安排来自所有学院的学生一起参加讲座、研讨会和实习。在剑桥，你也会参加监督，这是我们最大的优势之一的个人教育体系。每学年由三个为期八周的学期组成，你必须在剑桥完成学习。由于学期短，工作的速度和工作量可能比你现在习惯的要大，而且与学校或大学相比，这里更强调独立和自主学习

在学期期间，你平均每周要花42-46个小时在你的学术学习上(包括教学时间和独立学习)，你还需要在假期期间做一些工作，如进一步阅读或研究、复习或作业。每个学生都会以自己的方式和时间适应这一新的工作量，并且有很多人可以在你的整个学习期间提供建议和支持

Teaching methods

Lectures

Lectures act as a starting point for yourown research and typically last around 50 minutes. Depending on the subjectanywhere up to several hundred students may attend. Many lecturers areleading academics working at the forefront of their field, so lectures area fantastic opportunity to find out about the latest research.

Seminars and classes

These are usually for medium-sized groups(eg 10-30 students), last between one and two hours, and provide theopportunity to discuss particular topics in more detail. They’re led byacademics but you’re expected to contribute actively.

Practicals

Sometimes called ‘labs’ or laboratoryclasses. Practical work on some courses may be assessed.

Supervisions

Small-group sessions most often for betweenone and three students, supervisions provide the opportunity to explore yoursubject more deeply, discuss your own work and ideas, and receive regularfeedback. As they aren’t assessed, supervisions provide the ideal environmentfor you to test your ideas and interests, while encouraging you to develop yourthinking.

Typically, you have one or two hour-longsupervisions each week (this varies from course to course) and you dopreparation for each one – usually reading, writing an essay or working on someproblems. Supervisors are specialists in particular subjects (they may be oneof the country’s or the world’s leading authorities) and throughout yourcourse, your supervisors will change depending on what you are studying at thetime.

Fieldtrips, study visits, language courses, study abroad

Several courses include opportunities to goon field trips, study visits or language courses, or to study abroad throughexchange programmes. Naturally, where you go, how long for and what you dovaries depending on your course. The faculties, departments and Colleges oftenhave funds available to help you go on trips in Britain and abroad.

Independent research

A chance to carry out your own research,test out theories and put forward your own ideas. Your work might even getpublished while you’re still an undergraduate.

Work experience

Some courses include a period of workexperience, giving you a chance to explore potential career paths and possiblyleading to the opportunity of a job after you graduate.

Refer to the individual courseoutlines pages and faculty/department websites for more detailsabout teaching.

讲座

讲座是你自己研究的起点，通常持续大约50分钟。讲座主题涉及任何方面，多达几百名学生可以参加。许多讲师都是在他们领域的前沿工作的领导学者，所以讲座是一个了解最新研究的绝佳机会

研讨会

研讨会通常是中等规模的小组(如10-30名学生)，持续一到两个小时，用来更详细地讨论特定的主题。研讨会由学者领导

实验

有时被称为“实验室”或实验室课程

Supervisor

辅导教师会召集小组，通常为一到三名学生，辅导教师更深入地探索你的主题，讨论你自己的工作和想法，并收集定期的反馈。辅导教师为你提供了理想的环境来测试你的想法和兴趣，同时鼓励你发展自己的思维

通常你每周有一到两个小时的小组讨论(这随课程的不同而不同)，你为每一个课程做准备，通常是阅读，写一篇文章，或者解决一些问题。辅导教师是特定学科的专家，在整个课程中，你的辅导教师会根据你当时正在学习的内容而变化

实地考察、考察访问、语言课程、出国留学

一些课程包括进行实地考察、考察访问或语言课程，或通过交流方案出国学习的机会。你去的地方，持续多长时间和你做什么取决于你的课程。系和学院经常有资金来帮助你去英国和国外旅行

独立研究

有机会进行自己的研究，检验理论，提出自己的想法。你的作品甚至可能在你还是大学生的时候就被发表
