Sidney Sussex College was founded on St Valentine’s Day in 1596 as a result of a generous bequest from Lady Frances Sidney, Countess of Sussex, and was named in her honour.
Sidney is perfectly located in the heart of historic Cambridge, and is the youngest of Cambridge’s “old Colleges”. The College is a centre of academic excellence and actively fosters research across the entire academic community. Over the years, Sidney’s members have achieved innumerable academic successes, including four Nobel Prizes.
The college is proud of their 426 year history and are eager to meet the challenges of our time. The College is home to a mutually supportive community of Fellows, students and support staff who work together to sustain a vibrant living and learning experience for all.
