Postgraduate

Jesus College has been a great home for me during my PhD.

I chose Jesus College for a number of reasons – first, the location. We are central enough to be within easy walking distance of most things, but far enough away to avoid the hustle and bustle (and tourists in summer!). The College also has extensive grounds, with amenities like the hockey pitch, football pitch and tennis courts all on site.

Secondly, the accommodation is some of the best I’ve seen in Cambridge. My house was newly...

Chemical Engineering

I chose to study Chemical Engineering at Jesus College, mainly because I thoroughly enjoyed the subjects that I studied at A-Level (Maths, Further Maths, Chemistry, and Physics).

Computer Science

I joined Jesus in 2011 to read Computer Science. At school I had done a lot of mathematics, so the theoretical nature of the Cambridge course appealed to me.

Computer Science

Studying Computer Science at Cambridge has been a great springboard into my career. Starting out as a software engineer, I used my skills to move into project management and then programme management at a large multinational company.

Studying at Cambridge means that you can apply what you learn to any new problem and is proof that you are willing to work hard and achieve. Jesus College is a wonderfully supportive and stimulating environment to achieve your best whilst also enjoying student life.

Geography

What makes Geography so appealing is that it’s such a diverse and varied subject, and the Cambridge course really makes the best of this. In first year, you study both Human and Physical Geography which is a fantastic way to get an overview of the whole discipline. I knew before I arrived that I was probably going to be a Human Geographer, but I really enjoyed studying the Physical side too, and it helped me find new connections between different topics.

By far the best thing about Jesus is...
