Studying a science option within the Natural Sciences Tripos provides an excellent opportunity to achieve a solid grounding in the core physical or biological sciences, as well as exploring new or different options that you may not have encountered at school. I have just finished my third year specialising in Materials Science at Jesus after studying Physics and Chemistry for the first two years. The ability to experience different options and tailor my direction of study especially appealed to me as I did not know what I wanted to specialise in at school - I actually applied to Cambridge as a Biological Scientist!
本课程采用多种授课方式, 实验室, and the small group supervision system - incredibly helpful for gaining a more solid understanding. 你周围都是学者, 他们中的许多人都是各自领域的世界级专家, and this really comes into its own when it comes to various coursework tasks and the individual research projects in the fourth year. 对我来说, 材料科学是物理学的完美结合, 化学与生物, 再加上工程师的方法. 这个系的教学标准很高, and there is a great emphasis on developing a problem solving mind set and transferable skills. There are opportunities to do interesting research or engineering projects outside of the course, 这个夏天可以去国外工作.
每个剑桥的学生都说他们的学院是最好的, 但我尤其相信耶稣也是如此! 大学 is hugely friendly and inclusive place, welcoming to people from all backgrounds. I have found the environment to be the perfect balance between laid back and hardworking, and you do receive a lot of academic support from your supervisors and tutors - they really do want to help you succeed! 耶稣为学生的生活和学习提供了一流的设施. There are almost endless opportunities for extracurricular activities at both a 大学 and university level, 运动和音乐在耶稣身上表现得特别好. 社会的范围很广, and events are often held within the beautiful and tranquil surroundings of the college buildings.
研究人类, 社会, 和政治学(HSPS)在耶稣是伟大的, as the relatively large intake creates a really supportive group within 大学. 课程本身是多样化的, allowing you to study everything from power politics to the psychology of free will. Taking four subjects in part one means you gain experience of several different disciplines before deciding where to specialise.
过去两年, the politics and international relations track has given me the opportunity to study the politics of the modern world and a cross section of the centuries of philosophy that underpin it. 今年, 从每个主要地区选择, 我选择了关注中东, and the course has given a real insight into topics that seem to be more often discussed than understood, 比如阿拉伯之春和叙利亚内战.

英语 at Cambridge encourages you to think differently right from the start, 尽可能多地去尝试, 在这门课中找到自己的兴趣. 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, 文学中的网球, 电视节目《2022足球世界杯》和莎士比亚之间的比较.
It helps being at a 大学 like Jesus, where the arts play such a central role in 大学 life...
2011年，我加入耶稣学习计算机科学. 在学校里，我学过很多数学, 所以剑桥课程的理论性吸引了我. 也有很强的理论基础, 然而, the course gives a thorough introduction to many practical aspects early on, 如芯片设计和各种编程语言. 这门课后面会有很多机会来扩展这些内容, 其结果是一种既广泛又深入的教育.
我选了一个...
Land economy covers an incredibly wide range of topics across multiple academic disciplines. 这种多样性让研究变得有趣, offers flexibility to specialise or maintain a wide coverage and enables development of a great number of skills including solving quantitative problems, 分析法律案例和法规, 解读经济模型, 写报告.
This range of skills means it acts as a stepping stone into many different careers. 例如, I'm going to be an actuary and much of what I've learnt in my finance papers will be of great...
