Notable programs
Mathematical Tripos (including Part III)
The world's most celebrated mathematics programme. Part III — a standalone fourth year — serves as the global gateway to research mathematics and quantitative finance. Eleven Fields Medallists and the majority of UK-based quant traders at Jane Street and Citadel trace their training here.
Natural Sciences Tripos
A uniquely flexible science degree covering physics, chemistry, biology, and earth sciences in the first year before progressive specialisation. Produces versatile scientists comfortable across disciplinary boundaries — the structure behind Cambridge's dominance in interdisciplinary Nobel work.
Engineering Tripos
All students follow an identical broad curriculum for five terms covering mechanics, electronics, materials, thermodynamics, and computing before choosing a specialism. Graduates feed directly into Arm, Dyson, Rolls-Royce, and the Silicon Fen deep-tech cluster.
Computer Science Tripos
Ranked top ten globally with direct industry connections to Arm, Microsoft Research Cambridge, and DeepMind. The department's alumni founded companies collectively worth over GBP 50 billion. Tractable won Company of the Year 2024 from the department's own hall of fame.
MFin (Master of Finance, Judge Business School)
A one-year programme achieving 95-plus percent placement into finance roles with median salaries between GBP 70,000 and GBP 90,000. Combines quantitative rigour with Cambridge's network access to London's financial district, sixty minutes away by train.
Clinical Medicine
A six-year programme integrating pre-clinical science at the university with clinical training at Addenbrooke's Hospital — one of the UK's leading teaching hospitals located adjacent to the Biomedical Campus. International fees reach GBP 70,554 annually, reflecting resource intensity.
