Saint Edmund's College is a constituent college of the University of Cambridge. It is the second oldest of the four Cambridge colleges oriented to mature students, which only accept students reading for either Masters or Doctorate degrees, or undergraduate degrees if they are aged 21 or older, the oldest being Hughes Hall, and the others being Wolfson College and Lucy Cavendish College . Over three-quarters of St Edmund's students are studying towards higher degrees, usually the PhD, MPhil or LLM degrees. The college is named after St Edmund of Abingdon who was the first known Oxford Master... of Arts, and Archbishop of Canterbury 1234–1240. The college, affectionately referred to as Eddie's, is located about 15 minutes' walk northwest of the centre of Cambridge, near Lucy Cavendish and the other hill colleges. Its campus is a garden setting on the edge of Roman Cambridge, with housing for over 300 students.
