To read Veterinary Medicine at Robinson, you will need to have outstanding academic qualities and a real desire to learn in a scientific environment.  In addition, you must be able to convince the College that you can acquire the necessary clinical skills, and have a genuine enthusiasm for working with animals and people in an applied scientific career.  Although highly desirable, it is not essential to have had work experience in a veterinary practice or with farm animals prior to applying.

'Theology - isn't that only for those who want to be ordained?'

Far from it. Theology, Religion, and Philosophy of Religion students at Cambridge include atheists and agnostics, as well as those who have a commitment to one of the major faith communities, and after graduation they find all kinds and conditions of professions open to them. What unites them is an interest in religion and the part that religion plays in human societies. That interest provides the core of one of the most exciting and exacting of humanities degrees.

Psychological and Behavioural Sciences at Cambridge give you the opportunity to study cognitive, social, developmental, and biological psychology within the broader context of the behavioural sciences.

The course covers, for example, cognitive psychology, psychopathology, language, brain mechanisms, gender, family relationships and influences, personality, and group social behaviour. Research projects and a dissertation also enable you to study in greater depth the topics that interest you most.

Few students study philosophy at school, and so nearly all philosophy undergraduates enter Cambridge fresh to the subject.

The Natural Sciences course is designed to allow students a large degree of flexibility in their studies. Students need not have a plan for the entire course as they can study a broad range of subjects in the first year and then become increasingly specialised in the area that most interests them. While Natural Science students can afford to be undecided about their future specialisation, they must nevertheless be committed and highly motivated as the course is demanding and challenging for even the most gifted students.
