Veterinary Medicine

The Veterinary Medicine course here at Cambridge always feels different to how I view the subject is taught at other universities. The strong focus on basic science provides a brilliant background in scientific thinking which can be applied to practice as well as opening doors into research careers.

Through small group teaching at Jesus and even in the whole year group lectures of 65 students, I'm getting excellent personal support from the staff. Within the Jesus College community I've made friends across all subject areas and we have easy...

I especially enjoyed conducting my own experiments in the phonetics lab – it was great to be able to learn practical, as well as theoretical, aspects of Linguistics.

Education

The best element of this course is its multidisciplinary approach to the study of education, and the incorporation of other subject areas. The incredible diversity of a week’s lectures has challenged me to think holistically and to write with versatility. As someone with very wide interests, I have thoroughly enjoyed the breadth of subjects spanned on the course, and it has allowed me to find areas of particular interest in which to specialise in my final year.

The drama papers are excitingly full of potential to work with your...
