Centre of African Studies
The University of Cambridge has long been one of the world's leading centres
for study of Africa.
Vibrant teaching and research programmes focused on Africa exist across
the University, including those in the natural and biomedical sciences,
archaeology, social sciences and humanities.
Cambridge has a reputation for high-quality research relevant to the continent,
for the stimulation of debate and for active engagement with Africa-based
scholarship. The Centre of African Studies was established in 1965 by the
path-breaking social anthropologist, Dr Audrey Richards. Our first-class
library attracts a steady flow of students and visiting academics. We act
as a hub for graduate-level and faculty interdisciplinary research, we run
a one-year interdisciplinary MPhil, and we host the Cambridge/Africa Collaborative
Research Programme which brings African academics to Cambridge to work with
us and share their research.
The Centre's library attracts a steady flow of undergraduate and graduate
students. So does the Centre's Research Seminar Series that takes place
during Michaelmas and Lent of every academic year.
