Before Cambridge had colleges, how did students learn?

In the early days of the University of Cambridge, students would find a master willing to teach them and add their names to the matricula, the official list of approved students. These masters were men of the Church, and teaching often took place from a hostel rather than a college. It was a very different university from the one we know today!

He also shares his passion for silicon development, while reflecting on how difficult it has become to secure venture funding for silicon projects.

Think you’ve niched down enough? You probably haven’t.

Most people say they have a niche until you ask who they serve.“I help entrepreneurs.” “I work with women.” “I’m a designer for small businesses.” That’s still too broad. Your niche can be simple: Your market + what you’re passionate about. You don’t need to make your niche complicated. You need to make it specific enough that the right people instantly recognise themselves.

Oxford had a disaster. Cambridge got a university

In 1209, a serious conflict in Oxford changed the course of events for a group of scholars. Following the killing of a woman and the ex*****on of several students with King John’s permission, students began leaving Oxford. While some travelled to Reading, others made their way to Cambridge. This movement of scholars became an important part of the story behind Cambridge’s university beginnings.

The best strategy isn’t copied it’s tailored.

A powerful reminder: all strategy is autobiographical. Most people teach what has worked for them, based on their strengths, circumstances, preferences, and experiences. That doesn’t make their advice wrong. It just means it may not fit your business exactly as it is. So when a strategy doesn’t map perfectly to what you do, don’t throw out the whole idea. Ask yourself: “How could I adapt this to work for me?” Keep the principles. Adjust the tactics.

Before Cambridge, there was Cantabrigia!

Long before Cambridge became the city we know today, its location placed it between two rival Anglo-Saxon kingdoms, East Anglia and Mercia. As the kings of Wessex expanded northwards in the 10th century, new shires began to take shape. Cambridge emerged as the county town of Cambridgeshire, establishing itself as an important centre in the region. Discover the early events that helped shape Cambridge’s story.

From a small idea to a big impact.

Raspberry Pi began with a simple ambition: to encourage more students to pursue Computer Science at the University of Cambridge. Today, the growing interest in the subject highlights the role of accessible technology in education. Last year, around 1,800 students applied to study Computer Science at Cambridge, reflecting just how competitive the subject has become. How can a small educational initiative help inspire the next generation of computer scientists?
