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.

It helps being at a College like Jesus, where the arts play such a central role in College...

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...

Asian and Middle Eastern Studies

I chose to study Asian and Middle Eastern Studies (AMES) at Cambridge due to my love for languages. I was keen to pick up new languages in addition to those which I had studied at school.

The small class sizes are excellent and really aid in the learning of new languages.

The degree is excellent with regards to the choice of...

Computer Science

I joined Jesus in 2011 to read Computer Science. At school I had done a lot of mathematics, so the theoretical nature of the Cambridge course appealed to me. As well as a strong theoretical grounding, however, the course gives a thorough introduction to many practical aspects early on, such as chip design and a variety of programming languages. There are plenty of opportunities later in the course to expand on these, and the result is an education that is both wide ranging and in depth.

I took a...
