**About Us**

King’s is a constituent College of the University of Cambridge. Founded in 1441 by Henry VI as a place of education, religion, learning and research, the College comprises around 130 Fellows, 650 undergraduate and postgraduate students and 275 non-academic staff.

The College is internationally recognised as a leading academic institution, boasting among its former students and Fellows, no fewer than eight Nobel laureates, including Patrick Blackett, Frederick Sanger,

Sydney Brenner, Philip Noel-Baker and Oliver Hart, as well as influential figures such as Alan Turing, E.M.

Forster, John Maynard Keynes and Bernard Williams. Among its most prominent living members are the novelists Zadie Smith and Salman Rushdie, astronomer Martin Rees, sociologist Anthony Giddens, anthropologist Caroline Humphrey, former chair of the Bank of England Mervyn King, philanthropist David

Sainsbury, molecular biologist Lesley Anne Glover, entrepreneur and computer scientist Hermann Hauser, composers Judith Weir (Master of the King’s Music) and Errollyn Wallen, the first black woman to have a composition performed at The Proms.

The undergraduate and postgraduate community is vibrant and diverse, priding itself on a friendly and inclusive atmosphere combining academic commitment with political engagement and a lively social and artistic scene.
