St John's College Veterinary Medicine Taster Day was aimed at exceptional students at the end of Year 12 in England and Wales, S5 in Scotland or Y13 in Northern Ireland who were considering applying to Cambridge in 2026 by the 15 October deadline.
During the day students attended Q&A sessions, mock 'supervisions' and taster lectures delivered by Cambridge academics. Participants explored a range of exciting topics from the Veterinary Medicine course and found out more about the application process.
They also had the chance to meet current St John's students and hear first-hand what it is like to live and study here. Lunch was provided free of charge by St John's College.
Applications for all our taster days are open to students who are on track to meet or exceed the entry requirements for Cambridge's Veterinary Medicine course, as confirmed by a teacher referee.
Applications are assessed on academic merit and places are limited. When selecting participants, we may take personal background into account as well as strong academic ability and potential.
Priority is given to students meeting one or more of the following criteria, as well as the required academic achievement:
Should students be offered a place, we will require permission from a parent/guardian for the successful applicant to attend.
