Our community
Emmanuel is made up of more than 1000 members of the University: students, academics and non–academic staff. We currently have over 400 undergraduates and 200 postgraduate students. Our 100 academics are known collectively as the 'Fellowship', and individually as 'Fellows'. The academic community are supported by our 170 staff, whose roles range from catering and hospitality, to administration and finance.
What is a Fellow?
Academics who teach at the University of Cambridge can be elected to a college Fellowship.
They can be known as Official, Professorial or Supernumerary Fellows. After 25 years, they can choose to become a Life Fellow, continuing to research and teach. If they retire from teaching before this period, they become Emeritus Fellows.
Research Fellows are early–career academics, elected annually, usually for three years. Bye–Fellows are elected for their academic or professional association with us.
