The St Edmund's College is one of 31 colleges of the University of Cambridge in the UK. It is one of four colleges that only admit postgraduate and undergraduate students over the age of 21. It is named after Edmund Rich von Abingdon (1175-1240), Archbishop of Canterbury and a student and later professor at the University of Oxford . Founded in 1896 by Henry Fitzalan-Howard as St Edmund's House , it was mainly used as a residence for Cambridge University students until the late 1940s. In 1950 it became an independent college of the university and renamed St Edmund's College in 1986 .

St Edmund's College is the only college at Cambridge University with a chapel where Holy Mass is celebrated according to the Roman Catholic rite . The college has two research institutes, the Von Hügel Institute and the Faraday Institute , which study the role of religion in modern society and in the context of science.
