During your first and second year you will study a variety of subjects, some of which may be completely new to you.
You can change your mind about which subject to specialise in as you progress through the course.
You can choose to study purely biological sciences, purely physical sciences or a combination of both.
If you discover a passion for a new subject, such as Earth Sciences or Materials Science, you will be able to continue with it after your first year.
When you apply, you’ll need to tell us whether you’re interested in Biological or Physical Sciences. We use this information in the admissions process.
Your choice of application stream, and the courses that you are currently studying, will affect the types of questions that are asked at interview.
It is best to apply for Physical Sciences if you have studied Physics and Maths A levels. This is because your interview will be on subjects that you have already studied.
On the course, you can take physical and biological science options. But you won’t choose which subjects to study within the Natural Sciences course until you arrive.
There are A levels requirements for some of the first year options. Check the [requirements for Year One options](https://www.natsci.tripos.cam.ac.uk/prospective-students/admissions).
