United Kingdom Portal

The following persons attended the University of Cambridge but did not necessarily complete a degree course there.

This selective list of alumni and members of the University has been divided into categories, but it should be noted that these categories are somewhat arbitrary, and that many of the university's alumni and members have been polymaths, in these cases an attempt has been made to put them in the category for which they were most famous.
