The University of Cambridge (informally Cambridge University, or
simply Cambridge) is a public research university in Cambridge,
England. It is the second-oldest university in both England and the
English-speaking world, and the seventh-oldest globally. In
post-nominals the university's name is abbreviated as Cantab, a
shortened form of Cantabrigiensis (an adjective derived from
Cantabrigia, the Latinised form of Cambridge). The university grew
out of an association of scholars in the city of Cambridge that was
formed in 1209, early records suggest, by scholars leaving Oxford
after a dispute with townsfolk. The two "ancient
universities" have many common features and are often jointly
referred to as Oxbridge. In addition to cultural and practical
associations as a historic part of British society, they have a
long history of rivalry with each other. Academically Cambridge
ranks as one of the top universities in the world: first in the
world in both the 2010 and 2011QS World University Rankings, sixth
in the world in the 2010-2011 Times Higher Education World
University Rankings, and fifth in the world (and first in Europe)
in the 2010 Academic Ranking of World Universities. Cambridge
regularly contends with Oxford for first place in UK league tables.
Graduates of the University have won a total of 61 Nobel Prizes,
the most of any university in the world. Affiliates of the
University have won a total of 88 Nobel Prizes as of 4 October
2010, the second most of any academic institution (after Columbia
University) - the most recent one being Robert G. Edwards for the
prize in physiology or medicine. Academic staff of the University
won a total of 52 Nobel Prizes, second most of any academic
institution (after Columbia University). In 2009, the marketing
consultancy World Brand Lab rated Cambridge University as the 50th
most influential brand in the world, and the 4th most influential
university brand, behind only Harvard, MIT and Stanford University,
while in 2011, the
