Wolfson College Cambridge
About Us
Wolfson combines the traditions of a Cambridge University College with a dynamic and outward-facing view.
Founded in 1965 as ‘University College‘, Wolfson was initially only for postgraduate students, and was located in a single house with just a dozen rooms and a long, narrow garden that ran from Selwyn Gardens to Barton Road. From these humble beginnings, we have since grown to welcome mature undergraduates as well as postgraduates, and we are now the academic and physical home to more than 800 students, with over 400 accommodation rooms, a conference centre, performance venue, library, and lovingly tended gardens spread over a ten-acre site.
