is one of the constituent colleges of the
University Of Cambridge . Standing on the bank of the River Cam adjacent to
Queens College, Cambridge , it was founded in
1964 by three of the University's older colleges
Trinity College ,
Gonville And Caius and
St. John's College . It was the first college to admit
Graduate Student s only, and the first college in Cambridge or Oxford to admit both men and women. It is named for the family of
Charles Darwin , which previously owned some of the land on which the college stands.
The college has around 600 students, mostly studying for M.Phil (a one-year course) or Ph.D. (normally three-year course) degrees. About half the students are from overseas.
The college hosts the annual Darwin lectures, a series of talks for a general audience around a single theme, given by eminent speakers who are leading authorities in their fields. Most of the series of lectures have been published as books.
Darwin College Boat Club is one of the most popular student societies at Darwin College. With a strong progression over the last past years, the club is one of the most successful graduate rowing clubs in the UK.
Darwin College Football Club play in the long established
Cambridge University Association Football League (CUAFL), representing the only graduate college within CUAFL. The club plays throughout the year in and out of term.
Dian Fossey and
Jane Goodall are Darwin alumni.
Oliver Letwin was at one time a fellow of Darwin College.
