Here are the 25 Nobel Prizewinners who attended Cambridge University that I have found during my research. Only included are those who actually attended as students; there are several more not included on the list here who only came to Oxford as Professors or Dons, and see Oxford's own list for more information. For more information on any of the Laureates, see the Nobel Archive |
