Emmanuel College - Teaching & Research - Subjects. There's a real sense of community at Emma,it's great to live and work with such a diversegroup of people Emma, 2nd Year Engineering is a broad discipline, covering everything from the more traditional subjects, such as Civil and Mechanical Engineering, to the new subjects such as Electronics, Aeronautics and the applications of new materials.
The Cambridge course reflects this, so that students study a general course with relatively little specialisation for the first two years, and then concentrate their efforts for two further years on a few topics selected from a wide range. The number of areas covered allows you to see what the different subjects are all about, before having to commit yourself to one field. The depth with which the subjects are covered means that Engineering is not a ‘soft option’, and it is not a watered-down version of Natural Sciences. Emmanuel takes slightly more Engineering students than the average across the colleges, typically 16 each year.

I am going to test these out on my son this weekend and report back. He is 11 years and 11 months and 27 days old so that has to be considered, but these 100 odd questions would be interesting to know. He attends the local council school so he is NOT a private schooled student. All this to be taken with a grain of piquant salt!!! Daily telegraphOxbridge 'prefers interviews to exam results'By Graeme Paton Education Editor Last Updated: 2:30am BST 17/09/2007. My Cambridge Interview Experience. Okay, as promised, I think I’ll share a bit about my experience in having an interview in Cambridge.
Unlike a lot of other universities that only have ‘interviews’ as in ‘we just want to see your face and have a chat’ session, in Cambridge you’ll need to expect a proper, serious interview. Only then will they decide on giving you an offer. Or not. Before I start, I just need to say that this is just my recount of my own interview, so it should by no means be treated as ‘a definitive guide to Cambridge interviews’ or something like that, since there are different types of interviews and I only know about my own. Blog » A engineering interview to remember (Cambridge university engineering) Since my unconditional undergrad offer to study engineering in Cambridge, I’ve never really found the time to write about my experience of the selection process and the interview I went through to be shortlisted.
But heck it was really competitive, going against the top dogs in the best JCs in Singapore, not to mention scholars from around the region as well- A dinky neighborhood schooled and polytechnic student like me really felt out of place there, but I am glad I made the difference. I will just share part of the experience here. The interview The interviewer started by seeing me into the room after shaking hands and exchanging greetings. The room was set in a dimly lit incandescent atmosphere, very cozy, warm and casual, despite the presence of classroom florescent lights- which were left off.

There have been a lot of press features recently about the infamous Oxbridge Interview, famous for its obscure and often surreal questions that have terrorised students down the years. They are designed to see if you can think on your feet and as the saying goes: “When you walk into the interview, the fellow throws you a rugby ball. If you drop it or it hits you in the face, you are out, if you catch it, you are in, and if you drop kick it back, you get a scholarship.” I decided to look on the Internet to see if I could find some examples and here is my selection of forty of these questions: Unveiling the Oxbridge interview. Oblate ellipsoids?
As the popularity of The History Boys shows, the admissions process for the UK's elite universities continues to perplex and fascinate. So, as applicants prepare themselves for the new interview season, does the process deserve its mythic status and is there a recipe for interview success? Oxbridge interviewers are notorious for asking bizarre questions: How many aeroplanes are flying above Oxford at this moment? Can a slug think? What shape is an egg? The idea is not to elicit the correct answer - roughly oblate ellipsoids in the egg case - but that candidates should show clear reasoning. The surprises may not end with the questions. Another male candidate was startled when his interviewer, who avoided eye contact and expected a female applicant, addressed him as "Jane".
In such situations, the best hope is a stiff upper lip, although applicants may secretly wonder whether they want to be taught by such unconventional types for three or four years. Rapport Original.
