Subject Taster Evenings
Each summer term we run a programme of virtual Subject Taster Evenings for year 12 (or equivalent) students at a UK state (non-fee-charging) school or college. They feature the chance to meet our Directors of Studies, hear from our students, and experience a taste of Cambridge-style teaching.
2022 dates
We have tried as far as possible to place subjects on the same day only where they are unrelated; we encourage prospective applicants interested in multiple subjects to sign up for multiple evenings, to help inform their eventual subject choice.

Tuesday 26th April | History | Philosophy |
Wednesday 27th April | Medicine and Veterinary Medicine | Anglo Saxon, Norse and Celtic |
Thursday 28th April | Law | |
Friday 29th April | Psychological and Behavioural Sciences | Economics |

Please note: each subject listed in a cell has its own Taster Evening - i.e. on Monday 25th April there will be two separate Taster Evenings, one for Biological Natural Sciences, and one for Asian and Middle Eastern Studies. Unfortunately it is not possible to attend two Taster Evenings on the same day.
Details
Each Subject Taster Evening will run from 5 to 7pm, and will involve:
- A talk from a Director of Studies/Fellow in the subject about the course at Cambridge and Caius, and the chance to ask questions;
- A taster lecture or interactive session from a Cambridge academic;
- A question-and-answer session with current students in the subject.
