Clare’s central location makes it ideal for postgraduates in all subjects.
The College is minutes away from the Sidgwick Site, where most Arts and Humanities faculties and libraries are located. Clare is also close to the Downing and West Cambridge sites, where many of the Sciences, Mathematics, and Engineering departments and libraries are based.
The Forbes Mellon Library
The Forbes Mellon Library is the main College Library and is located in Memorial Court. Its collections primarily support undergraduate study, with some more specialised material suitable for postgraduates on taught courses. The College Archives hold documents pertaining to the history of Clare, including governing and administrative records, estate papers, academic records, and papers of individual members dating back to the sixteenth century; these may be of relevance to some postgraduates’ research.
Sources of Support
The University’s Accessibility and Disability Resource Centre provides support for all disabled students during their time at Cambridge. The University Careers Service provides advice and resources for students at all stages of their careers, even after they have graduated. The Careers Service hosts workshops, career fairs, and informational events throughout the year, as well as tailored advice to individual students on CVs, applications, and interviews.
