About this community
Some institutions are not linked to any School, but carry out important work and services that contribute to the University’s mission and often have strong links with the teaching and research activities of Faculties and Departments. They include, among others, the University Library, the Institute of Continuing Education, and the Fitzwilliam Museum and are generally governed through a Syndicate.
