Natural Sciences

Program Description

The Natural Sciences Tripos (NST) is the framework within which most science ‘subjects’ are taught at Cambridge. If you want to study any of the biological and physical sciences listed below, this is the course for you.
The Natural Sciences Tripos offers both physical and biological scientists a unique and demanding course that combines a broad first year with increasing specialisation in the second year and total specialisation in the third and, in some disciplines, fourth years.

The breadth of the Natural Sciences Tripos reflects the blurring of boundaries between the different sciences: biological problems are increasingly being solved using techniques which require an understanding of physics and chemistry, whilst many of the most pressing problems being addressed by chemists and materials scientists require a knowledge of biology.
