12 Jobs in Cambridge

Cambridge is a successful city with a world-class reputation for education, science and innovation, research and knowledge-based industries. In many ways, Cambridge is a model city, displaying rapid growth and making a valuable contribution to the UK as a whole. It is a major focus for employment, with the high-value ‘Cambridge Cluster’, Europe’s leading technology group, being crucial to the UK’s economy and its international competitiveness. Just outside the town itself is the Cambridge Science Park, boasting high-tech research centres that have given way to some of the most innovative companies in the country. Cambridge is also home to one of the oldest and most prestigious universities in the world, giving it a rich intellectual history. Since 1960, the University of Cambridge has played an increasing role in the development of the ‘Cambridge Cluster’ which now numbers around 900 innovation-based companies. In fact, if the university did not exist, more than £50 billion and over 150,000 jobs would be needed to replace the University’s impact on the economy.
