UK Universities

Bellerbys College is a very special place to study.  The excellent students and staff make it so.  Here at Bellerbys Cambridge, I believe we provide the best possible start to studying in the UK for our students, and I value the opportunity to be part of the process.

Cambridge is a world leader in university education, and working and living here is stimulating and gives so many opportunities.  There are so many things to do and places to visit - the famous university buildings such as Kings College Chapel, punting on the river, the night life, the numerous cultural attractions.  I recommend you take a visit to nearby Ely, with its wonderful cathedral.  Whatever your faith (or none), the building is beautiful.

Bellerbys College Cambridge has two campuses, each with its own character.  Depending on the subjects you choose, you will either study at either Queens Campus - with its classic Cambridge college buildings, or Manor Campus with its more contemporary feel.

Manor Campus is a modern, self-contained campus in the north of Cambridge, approximately 2km from the city centre.  It offers a student residence and a range of social amenities on site. Queens Campus is located in a historic building amongst the university colleges.  It is opposite the Botanic Gardens and a five minute walk from the city centre.

When you are away from home, it is important to feel safe, comfortable and happy.  We take great care to provide a high standard of accommodation.  You can choose either the flexibility of our student residences or the supportive atmosphere of a host family (known as Homestay).  Whichever you select, we will ensure you feel at home.
