We bring women of outstanding potential to @Cambridge_Uni and support them to make a difference in the world. We were founded as New Hall.
Have you seen our new website? We’re not your typical Cambridge college, & it’s not a typical site. We worked with the excellent @designbysoapbox to create a website that is beautiful, clear and welcoming for potential applicants. We love it & hope you do. murrayedwards.cam.ac.uk
