The
University of Cambridge (informally
Cambridge University, or simply
Cambridge) is a public research university in Cambridge, England. It is the second-oldest university in both the United Kingdom and the English-speaking world, and the seventh-oldest globally. In post-nominals the university's name is abbreviated as
Cantab, a shortened form of
Cantabrigiensis (an adjective derived from
Cantabrigia, the Latinised form of
Cambridge).
The university grew out of an association of scholars in the city of Cambridge that was formed in 1209, early records suggest, by scholars leaving Oxford after a dispute with townsfolk.
The two "ancient universities" have many common features and are often jointly referred to as
Oxbridge. In addition to cultural and practical associations as a historic part of British society, they have a long history of rivalry with each other
