Prince William at Cambridge University
Prince William arrived smiling at St John's College today (Tues) for his first day as a full-time Cambridge University student.
The Duke of Cambridge managed to avoid the heavy rain showers as he strolled into the college to begin a 10-week bespoke course in agricultural management.
He was accompanied by Professor Sir Leszek Borysiewicz, the vice chancellor of the university, Professor Christopher Dobson, the master of St John's and Polly Courtice, from the Cambridge Programme for Sustainability Leadership.
The intensive course, organised by the Cambridge Programme for Sustainability Leadership, is designed to equip the Duke for running the Duchy of Cornwall estate which he will inherit from his father.
The 31-year-old, who was dressed smartly in a suit and maroon tie, was given a tour of St John's College where some of his studies will take place.
Later today he will meet four professors from the land economy, geography and plant sciences departments, as well as some of the PhD students he will be sharing small seminars with.
The Duke, who will have 18 to 20 hours of lectures, as well as essays and field trips, is expected to live part time in private accommodation in Cambridge.
The modules he is expected to study include rural and planning policy, farming and supply chains, site management, agricultural policy and conservation governance. He will also go on a series of field trips.
The course will run until mid-March and be funded privately by the Royal Family.
A Kensington Palace spokesman said: "The course has been designed to help provide the Duke with an understanding of contemporary issues affecting agricultural business and rural communities in the United Kingdom."
He will be taught by academics from across the prestigious university.
