Quick facts: Darwin College
Darwin is a post-graduate college: the majority of our students are reading for Masters or PhD degrees. Darwin provides an international community in which graduate students, postdoctoral workers, senior visitors,and college fellows can interact with colleagues having the broadest spectrum of research interests.
Darwin, like most Cambridge Colleges, is co-educational and has no restrictions on the subjects of study. It has 45 Professorial and Official Fellows, including a Master (the Head of House elected by the fellows), most of whom are University Teaching Officers in their subjects. There are also about 20 Research Fellows. The Adrian and Finley Fellowships are stipendiary, and in addition 4 to 6 non-stipendiary Research Fellows are elected each year.
There are approximately 600 students, most of whom are studying for M.Phil (a one year course) or Ph.D. (normally three year course) degrees. A striking feature of the College is that half the students are from more than 50 overseas countries. Darwin also has Associate Members, who are usually academic visitors from abroad and Research Associates who work in the different Departments of the University.
