Geography is a diverse subject, which uniquely spans the social and physical sciences. Students studying Geography explore a wide range of spatial processes, from environmental change to international development to economic globalisation. Students also benefit from fields trips, training in transferable research skills and an in-depth research project (dissertation) in their Third year.

Subject Requirements

Essential: A Level English Literature or A Level English Language and Literature / IB Higher Level English Literature.

Also Useful: An A Level / IB Higher Level in a modern or ancient language and/or a second essay-based subject (e.g., History)

The course in Engineering at Cambridge, which lasts four years and leads to the award of an MEng degree, has some special features that distinguish it from those at most other universities. It is clearly acknowledged that its purpose is to educate, rather than to train you for a particular job. The course is designed to develop your intellectual abilities so that you will be able to tackle new and unexpected situations. The emphasis is placed firmly on understanding a relatively small number of basic physical principles which can be applied to a large number of technological problems.

Applicants for Education should take at least one A-level or IB Higher Level subject that is relevant to some aspect of the Education Tripos. 'Relevant' subjects might include social science and/or essay-based subjects, e.g. English Literature, English Language and Literature, Sociology, Psychology and/or History.

Why Study Economics at Robinson College?

Robinson is an excellent college at which to study Computer Science. We have four Fellows in the subject, all of whom take an active part in small group teaching in the college, and this means that our Computer Science students are very well supported. Robinson is also only a ten minute, traffic-free walk, away from the Computer Laboratory and therefore is one of the closest colleges to the department.

All students spend two years on the Part I course and, though most go on to read Classics Part II (normally a one-year course), it may be possible to change to another subject. Subjects successfully combined with Classics include History, Law, English, History of Art, Theology, and Social and Political Sciences. Papers from other Triposes are also available within the Classics Part II.

Subject Requirements

3 year course:

Essential: A Level/IB Higher Level Latin and/or Greek.

The Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology Tripos is a direct entry course for students applying for October 2023 entry onwards.

Our course concentrates on the scientific principles that underpin the discipline. These principles are essential to develop processes and products that address some of the problems currently facing humanity. These include the energy transition away from fossil fuels, the need for sustainable food and water supplies as climate change occurs, and the provision of improved global healthcare solutions and therapeutics.

Please note; Robinson only takes applications for Chinese or Japanese Studies.

The Architecture Tripos gives an unrivalled design-based degree to some of our graduates, but for most it is the first step to the profession. It cumulatively provides exemption from part 1 of the RIBA (Royal Institute of British Architects) Examination, and it must therefore be taken as a whole.

Subject Requirements

Essential All applicants are expected to show a portfolio of recent work at interview.

Desirable: AS or A Level / IB Standard or Higher Level Mathematics or Physics.
