Cambridge University is offering a range of subject masterclasses for year 12 students on various Saturdays between February and July.
A wide range of science subjects are available each year - including Genetics, Biochemistry, Chemistry, Physics and Medicine. They offer the fantastic opportunity to attend lectures, find out more about Cambridge admissions and talk to current undergraduate students. It would also be great to mention on your UCAS application.
For more information and to book your place, visit their website. Booking opens on the 6th February. Popular courses such as Medicine are expected to fill up very quickly.
I attended a Physiology masterclass at Cambridge in year 12, and really enjoyed it. We attended a couple of lectures, which explored topics such as nerve signal transmission beyond the A level syllabus, and it was great to have the opportunity to get some advice on applying to Cambridge. We also spent a few hours in one of the undergraduate laboratories investigating neurotransmission in the Ulnar nerve.
