Postgraduate

I chose Jesus College because I had done my undergraduate degree at another College in Cambridge, and always felt that Jesus students were the most friendly and often the most relaxed (although also some of the most hard-working!). It seemed to me that the pastoral support at Jesus was of a very high standard, and I was proved right during my year studying for an MMus.

I didn't live in College accommodation, but I still managed to make friends and make the most of the facilities offered in college....

Cambridge is simply a brilliant place to be a biochemist – it’s an amazing feeling to know that many of the seminal discoveries discussed in lectures were made right here, not least Watson and Crick’s famous determination of the structure...

Economics

One of the strengths of the Economics Tripos at Cambridge is the breadth of the material it covers. In the first year, students have compulsory papers in both history and politics, alongside standard papers in macroeconomics, microeconomics and mathematics. As someone with very wide interests, this aspect of the course has been really enjoyable for me. It has encouraged me to think holistically and draw links not only between different elements of the Tripos, but also with regard to current affairs and wider economic issues.
