Методические указания по английскому языку для студентов I курса всех факультетов. Часть 1. Сергееева Т.В - 42 стр.

       Cambridge is one of the two main universities in England located at the
Cam River. It was founded at the beginning of the 12-th century. The University
consists of 24 different colleges including 4 colleges for women. Each college is
a self-governing body.
       The chancellor elected for life is the head of the University. The teachers
are commonly called “dons” and “tutors”. Part of the teaching is by means of
lectures organized by the University. Besides lectures teaching is carried out by
tutorial system for which the Cambridge University is famous all over the world.
This is a system of individual tuition organized by the colleges.
       Each student has a tutor who practically guides him through the whole
course of studies. The tutor plans the student’s work and once a week the
student goes to his tutor to discuss his work with him.
       The training course lasts 4 years. The academic year is divided into 3
terms. The students study natural and technical sciences, law, history, languages,
geography and many other subjects.
       After three years of study a student may proceed to a Bachelor’s degree,
and later to the degrees of Master and Doctor. The older the University is, the
more traditions it has. Students of Cambridge are required to wear gowns at
lectures, in the University library, in the street in the evening, for dinners in the
colleges and for official visits. All the students must pay for their education,
examinations, books, laboratories, university hostel, the use of libraries, etc.
Very few students get grants. Not many children from the working class families
are able to get higher education, as the cost is high. The cost of education
depends on the college and speciality.
