Veterinary Medicine was the perfect course for me, since I’ve always wanted to work with animals but also have an interest in medicine. I chose Cambridge as, for the first three years, the course is essentially a normal science degree, and I loved studying Biology and Chemistry at school.

I visited Â鶹ԭ´´ on an open day, and loved how much space there was and how friendly all the student ambassadors were. The free laundry facillities were a big bonus! Now that I’m here it really does feel like one big community, and I’m so pleased I chose it.

What I really love about Jesus is that all the accommodation is either inside the College or within a five-minute walk. No matter where you end up living, you can access all the facilities really easily. The library has pretty much any book you could ever need, and it’s an amazing place to work if you want to get out of your room. Caff (the cafeteria) always seems to have a million different options.

The work is challenging but interesting – the timetable is intense, but there’s still loads of time for socialising. Everyone on my course is so friendly and welcoming that you can go to literally anyone if you don’t understand something.

My favourite thing about Cambridge so far has been getting to meet people on my course and in the College, because everyone is super friendly! Learning anatomy and getting to study a completely different side of Biology than we did at school has been amazing too. I’ve loved every second of my time so far.

    Studying Medicine at Jesus for the past two years has been a great privilege. The course has been challenging, but extremely rewarding, especially as I enjoyed biology at school. The course is packed full of science for the first two years, and in third year you can choose to study a similar or entirely unrelated course. After that there are three years of clinical studies. Renowned for its amazing musical, arts, and sporting facilities, Â鶹ԭ´´ not only gives you a top-class medical education but a true sense of belonging...

    Classics

    I knew straight away that Â鶹ԭ´´ 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, art...

    My favourite thing about Jesus is its welcoming community, and the plethora of societies on offer for all abilities and interests. Despite never having picked up an oar in my life, I was welcomed right away into Â鶹ԭ´´ Boat Club and I’ve found a new passion for rowing! My best Cambridge memory so far is taking part in the ‘Bumps’ rowing race in first year, which was an absolutely exhilarating experience. I chose Natural Sciences because I loved studying both Biology and Chemistry at A Level, and found myself...

    Natural Sciences (Physical)

    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...

    I am a second year Natural Scientist at Â鶹ԭ´´ studying biochemistry, cell and developmental biology and chemistry. I was particularly drawn to this course as it offers a wide range of both physical and biological subjects, with the opportunity to increasingly specialise over the years. For me studying in this multidisciplinary environment has been hugely beneficial and will be a great advantage for later research. For Natural Science students, a lot of the contact time is at the University level. I have really enjoyed the opportunity to meet people...
