Classics

I knew straight away that Jesus College was the one that I really wanted to go to. It is a beautiful and old College steeped in traditions and everyone I have met here has been lovely and supportive, which makes all the hard work so worthwhile. Classics here is really strong, with a number of eminent scholars teaching us on a regular basis who all specialise in different fields. I feel very privileged to be learning from them.

Classics is such a varied degree because it incorporates languages, history,...

Theology, Religion, and Philosophy of Religion

I chose to do Theology, Religion, and Philosophy of Religion at Cambridge because it was the most diverse and flexible course for this subject available.

My first year short dissertation focused on Dutch paintings in the Fitzwilliam Museum and I've since been able to study medieval aesthetics and the work of Albrecht Durer in my second year special subjects.

Cambridge has given me time to study what I'm interested in, whilst...

Human, Social, and Political Sciences

Studying Human, Social, and Political Sciences (HSPS) at Jesus, specialising in sociology in my second and third years, has been such a rewarding experience. We're all given extensive support throughout our three years whichever track we choose to take.

In addition, the College library is well stocked with books we need. With a cohort of about seven students the HSPS contingent is small enough for us to get to know each other really well but big enough to support one another. In short, there's no better College to study...
