Matthew was seen leaving college on Thursday morningCAMBRIDGESHIRE CONSTABULARY

Matthew Campsie, a 21 year-old Economics student from Fitzwilliam College, was found safe yesterday after a search by the Missing Person Investigation Unit.

Matthew was seen leaving Fitzwilliam College onto Storey’s Way at 7.46am on Wednesday morning, but did not arrive at his 9am exam. 

A police search was prompted, as Cambridge Constabulary said there was "growing concern for Matthew's welfare."

However, an email from Dr Paul Chirico, the Senior Tutor at Fitzwilliam, sent out at 23:32 last night states that he is "very pleased to be able to confirm that Matthew Campsie is safe and well."

A spokesperson for the University of Cambridge has also echoed confirmation that Matthew has been located and is safe.
