Details:
In fact, Cambridge University is only a loosely organized consortium of colleges, which are highly autonomous, but all abide by the unified charter of Cambridge University, which is drafted and passed by the university's legislature and revised every year. Cambridge University is only responsible for examinations and degree awarding, while the specific criteria for enrollment are determined by each college and are self-enrolled.
Cambridge's 3 1 colleges are scattered in small towns with only about 65438+ 10,000 people. These colleges were built in different times, with a history of 700 to 800 years at the earliest. Just like their buildings, they have their own characteristics.
Although universities and colleges complement each other, they are different entities and economically independent. Universities are public and funded by the state, while colleges are private and self-financing. The university is responsible for graduate students, the college is responsible for undergraduate enrollment, and the number is planned by the university.
The university is responsible for all students' teaching, and the college is responsible for students' life and amateur counseling for undergraduates. At the end of each year, universities rank colleges according to their undergraduate scores and certain rules, so as to promote competition among colleges. The internal management of the university is carried out independently by various departments, and a few external affairs are handled by representatives appointed by the central organ of the university.
