About IDBE

University and College Information

Study Resources

As members of the University and jointly the Department of Architecture & History of Art and the Department of Engineering, IDBE students are entitled to make use of the University Library and the two departmental libraries:

College Membership

Students joining IDBE will become members of Wolfson College, a college specifically established for mature and graduate students. Wolfson College offers many opportunities for informal association between IDBE course members and members of the college from other academic disciplines, and provides an extension of the cross-discipline links that underlines the IDBE ethos. Membership continues after graduation.

University Life

As post graduate students of Cambridge University IDBE students automatically become members of the University Centre which has bars, restaurants, cafes, computer and reading rooms. This membership will continue after completion of the course.

It’s a fantastic way to explore some of the issues peripheral to your work and turn them into a Masters degree and give yourself the edge over your competitors. It can reinvigorate your working life!
