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. 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; and everyone is allowed to walk on the grass

A dynamic and progressive College, we have 56 Governing Body Fellows, 219 further Senior
Members from all walks of life, 874 full
- and part-time postgraduates and 177 mature
undergraduates from more than 80 countries. Particularly distinctive is our "Bridge Fellows"
programme, which brings a diverse group of outstanding individuals from outside the
University into our Fellowship as full members of Governing Body. An oasis of calm and
quiet near the busy city centre, we provide a relaxing yet stimulating environment for study
and research. Hughes Hall is situated alongside Fenner's Cricket Ground, just off the
cosmopolitan Mill Road.

We are focused on being an intellectual force at the centre of the University, concentrating
on translating research into impact and inter-disciplinary collaboration. We have strengths
between the academic and wider worlds thrives: Physical Sciences, Engineering and
Mathematics; Life Sciences; Business and Economics; Education and Social Sciences; and
Law. We have world-leaders in each of these fields developing dynamic communities of
interest within the College, with a reach far beyond our boundaries.

A determination to change the world for the better is realised through our Bridge initiative
which leverages the College's multidisciplinary perspective, international nature, and
external focus to help turn brilliant ideas into lasting change. The Bridge at Hughes Hall
helps researchers build relevant skills and enables networking and matchmaking between
our academic community and external partners. It is structured around four themes, in
various stages of development, through which we aspire to have impact on societies and

engage our students:
Global Health; The Future of Education; Environment and Energy; and
Artificial Intelligence and Big Data.

The Bridge also supports our centres:
the Centre for
Climate Change Engagement, Oracy Cambridge, Cambridge Governance Labs, and the
Cambridge Centre for Digital Innovation.

These hubs of academic and professional innovation are having a wide-reaching influence,
drawing global attention to Hughes Hall, and are one aspect of a large, vibrant, friendly, and
ambitious community dedicated to supporting one another in the pursuit of excellence,
using academic learning to bring about real change and growth in the world.
