School of the Biological Sciences


Our teaching

The School contributes to two major teaching programmes. A course or programme is known in the University of Cambridge as a Tripos. The Faculty of Biology provides all the teaching of Biological Sciences in the Natural Sciences Tripos (NST). It also provides all the pre-clinical teaching for the Medical and Veterinary Sciences Tripos (MVST).

The clinical teaching of veterinary students continues within the Department of Veterinary Medicine while medical students may go on to the School of Clinical Medicine.

Graduate training is described on the web site of the Graduate School
