English

English at Cambridge encourages you to think differently right from the start, to experiment as much as you can, and find your own interests within the subject. Before I applied, I was anxious about the course being too rigid and ‘traditional’. But I’ve been able to write about things I’d never even considered before - food on stage, tennis in literature, a comparison between the TV show True Detective and Shakespeare.

Choral Scholar

Singing in Jesus College Choir is an incredibly rewarding and enjoyable experience. I love singing beautiful music in an ancient chapel, and regular Evensong is a perfect break from my studies, allowing me to enjoy and focus on something different for a while.

Being part of the Choir gives me some amazing opportunities and experiences, from tours abroad to free singing lessons and singing wonderful pieces such as Elgar’s Dream of Gerontius. These experiences will stay with me for the rest of my life.

The Choir is friendly...
