About Fitzwilliam

Fitzwilliam College is a special and welcoming community. We combine a passion for academic
excellence and enquiry, with a commitment to widening access to higher education.

The College encompasses around 1,000 people including Fellows, staff, undergraduates and
postgraduates. In common with all the other 31 colleges of the University of Cambridge, Fitzwilliam is an
independent, self-governing institution.

The College enjoys a large seven acre site within 10 minutes cycle ride of all the major faculties and
departments. At the heart of our beautiful grounds is a fine Regency house. Most of our award
winning architecture dates form the 1960s onwards including a state-of-the art auditorium and the
Olisa Library.

Fitzwilliam began in 1869 as a non-collegiate institution, with the specific purpose of providing a
Cambridge education to students who were unable to afford membership of a college. The community
became a full college in 1966 and moved to our current site at that time.
Our values

The College has recently started to implement the new College Plan based on these values.
