Cambridge is a collegiate university that means it is made up of self-governing and independent colleges, using its own property and income after the separation. Most colleges bring together academics and students from a broad range of disciplines (though certain colleges do have particular strengths) e.g. Gonville and Caius College for Medicine, and within each faculty, school or department within the university, academics from many different colleges will be0 found.
The faculties are responsible for ensuring that lectures are given, arranging seminars, performing research and determining the syllabi for teaching, overseen by the General Board. Together with the central administration headed by the Vice-Chancellor, they make up the entire Cambridge University. Facilities such as libraries are provided on all these levels: by the University (the Cambridge University Library), by the departments (such as the Squire Law Library), and by the individual colleges (all of which maintain a multi-discipline library, generally aimed mainly at their undergraduates).
