WELCOME
Welcome to the website of Emmanuel College.
Emmanuel is in the heart of Cambridge, in a main shopping area, yet is off the tourist track and never feels crowded or pressured. It is one of the larger colleges in Cambridge, a community of more than 600 people. At its head is the Master; there are some 80 Fellows, around 450 undergraduates and some 150 graduate students in residence at any one time, and a large permanent staff.
The College was founded in 1584. It is not by Cambridge standards a particularly ancient foundation, but its history is long and distinguished and it has produced its share of the famous.
