Medicine

I enjoy the strong scientific focus of the Medicine course at Cambridge for the first three pre-clinical years. The way the course is delivered is unique and, while it’s not for everyone, it is something that really pushes me. Despite the initial scientific focus, there is plenty of opportunity to see the clinical side with the ‘Preparing for Patients’ course, and through optional clinical sessions held by the upper year Jesus clinical medics.

Jesus College itself has such beautiful grounds and is a wonderful place to study. It has...

For me studying in this multidisciplinary environment has been hugely beneficial and will be a great advantage for later research.

For Natural Science students, a lot of the contact time is at the University level. I have really enjoyed the opportunity to meet...

Theology, Religion, and Philosophy of Religion

The Theology Tripos is possibly the most varied arts course available at undergraduate level - at least, that's been my impression. There is huge flexibility from the very beginning: the only compulsory papers in the first year are a language (there's a choice of four) and either the Old or New Testament paper.

Other than that, it's possible to tailor your study to suit your interests. I opted for the church history paper and Christian doctrine in my first year. This year, I've carried on with Hebrew and Old...
