剑桥大学（英文：University of Cambridge；勋衔：Cantab）坐落于英国剑桥，是一所誉满全球的世界顶级研究型书院联邦制大学，与牛津大学、伦敦大学学院、帝国理工学院、伦敦政治经济学院同属“G5超级精英大学”。立思辰山东留学360李洁老师介绍说，剑桥大学是英国本土历史最悠久的高等学府之一，学校前身是一个于公元1209年成立的学者协会，是英语世界中第二古老的大学。
在学校800多年的历史中，涌现出牛顿、达尔文等一批引领时代的科学巨匠；造就了培根、凯恩斯等贡献突出的文史学者；培养了弥尔顿、拜伦等开创纪元的艺术大师，从这里走出了8位英国首相，92位诺贝尔奖获得者，4位菲尔兹奖得主曾为此校的师生、校友或研究人员。这些都为剑桥大学奠定了世界近现代学术文化中心的地位。其在数学、物理、医学、法学、商学等多个领域拥有崇高的学术地位及广泛的影响力，被公认为是当今世界最顶尖的高等教育机构之一。
据立思辰留学360介绍，剑桥大学是多个学术联盟的成员之一，亦为英国“金三角名校”及剑桥大学医疗伙伴联盟的一部分，并与产业聚集地硅沼的发展息息相关。学校共设八间文艺及科学博物馆，并有馆藏逾1500万册的图书馆系统及全球最古老的剑桥大学出版社。
