The Cambridge Language Collective was founded by students at the University of Cambridge in 2020. It is a collaborative publication brought to life by a team of student journalists who are committed to spotlighting a range of topics from beyond the English-speaking world.

Featuring fresh and original writing, the Cambridge Language Collective aims to broaden perspectives and encourage readers to think beyond their cultural confines.

For our next event, we will be joining Varsity's Christmas pub social. Come and meet your fellow student journalists at The Granta on 27 November at 8:30pm 📸: Isaac Ohringer
