About Hughes Hall:

The University of Cambridge's oldest graduate college, Hughes Hall bears the name of its
founding Principal, Elizabeth Phillips Hughes. Established in 1885 as a women-only teaching
College, we now accept postgraduate students and mature undergraduates in all areas of
study and research, offering scholarships and bursaries targeted at new and continuing
students.

We are one of the most international colleges, bridging the academic and external worlds,
with an open and informal atmosphere. We have around 250 Fellows and Senior Members
and 900 students from more than 80 countries. We are several years into a programme of
continual enhancement of student education, wellbeing, and social activities like sport and
music. A distinctive aspect of college life at Hughes Hall is an egalitarian culture where
interaction and engagement between the senior membership and students is open and
encouraged; there is no separate "High Table" for meals and everyone is allowed to walk on
the grass

We pride ourselves on being an oasis of calm and quiet near the busy city centre, providing
a relaxing yet stimulating environment for study and research, where people of all
backgrounds are welcomed, will feel at home, and can flourish. Everyone at Hughes has
arrived by a different route, with a different background, and brings different experiences,
strengths and stories to their studies.
