The Faculty of Divinity, Cambridge is the divinity school of the University of Cambridge. Divinity has been taught in the University of Cambridge since its foundation in the early 13th century, around the time that the University itself was founded. Divinity (in some form or other) is one of only two subjects to have been taught continuously throughout the history of the University.
