The University of Cambridge is a collegiate public research university in Cambridge, England. Founded in 1209, it is the second-oldest university in the English-speaking world and the third-oldest in continuous operation worldwide. Its founding followed the arrival of scholars who left the University of Oxford for Cambridge after a dispute with local townspeople. It received a royal charter from King Henry III in 1231. The university includes 31 semi-autonomous constituent colleges and more than 150 academic departments, faculties and other institutions organised into six schools, and all students are required to have a college affiliation within it.
