Six students at Cambridge University took their own lives in a six-month period, it has emerged.
Last year Cambridge bosses pledged to look into a spate of suicides at the world-famous university after four students took their lives in a one-month period.
However following an inquest held last week, coroners have now confirmed five students took their own lives last year with a further suspected suicide in September.
These suicides represent a 500 per cent increase in students taking their own lives whilst studying at the institution.
Four young students took their lives in a four week period in May and June 2022. One also occurred in March and the suspected one in September, it was confirmed.
Senior pro-vice-chancellor Professor Graham Virgo said in July last year that the incidents had "distressed the whole of the university community".
