It has just enough freedom (ie I can choose my essay title each week, and will later be able to choose which texts I revisit and revise and which I never want to see again) while being structured and guided under four papers, each of a different time period. The supp...

University of Cambridge open days
Are you thinking of applying to this university?
Before you do, it's a good idea to go to an open day. You can have a good look around campus, getting a better idea of what it's like to study there. You'll meet current students and staff and get the chance to ask them questions.
Universities will list upcoming open days on their websites. Most will also have virtual open days; these are a great alternative if you really can't get there in person. For tips on preparing for open days, check the advice section here on The Uni Guide.
