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.

History

Before applying, I thought it was far out of my reach, that Cambridge was only for naturally gifted geniuses, but after I started studying I realised that couldn’t be further from the truth.

The vast majority of people here work hard and love their subject, by far the most important factors for making the most of studying your subject at university. Jesus has a really strong contingent of historians sitting a range of papers, so we all give each other help and advice as well as learning from academic...
