Bridging the gap: the financial reality of our world-class teaching

The gulf between income from fees and the actual expenditure necessary for a top-tier Cambridge education is a constant challenge for the College.

We know that their £9,250 per year fee is an immense sum to most students, and they are shocked to learn that that figure cannot even cover half of what we spend on the average undergraduate course each year. And while the tuition fee has been frozen for six consecutive years, the cost of educating each student continues to rise. Attracting and retaining the finest Fellows and academic staff at the forefront of their respective fields, increasing operational costs, and providing the latest technology and essential resources all contribute to the growing gap in our teaching budget.
