The benefits to Post-Graduates

An extra 2,000 ensuite study bedrooms with communcal areas and other facilities.

Post-graduate research is a vital part of the University’s activities but there is a shortage of post-graduate accommodation in the city. For post-graduates working at the University, the North West Cambridge development will provide the opportunity to live in affordable, quality accommodation within easy reach of their college or research institute. The University aims to provide, with the Colleges, approximately 2000 units for post-graduate students.

These units will be en-suite study bedrooms with additional communal areas for cooking and relaxing. In addition post-graduates will be able to make use of the many services and community amenities that will be located on the site. Ensuring that there is a good supply of post-graduate accommodation within Cambridge will help to attract students who want to complete further study and research programmes in the city.

This means that the brightest and best academic talent will be retained locally instead of potentially being lost to other institutions within the UK or abroad. Cambridge will continue to be a world leader in higher education, research and knowledge-based industries.
