Downing College is one of the bigger colleges for medics, with a yearly intake of about 16. Vets needn’t be alone either, as we take 2 or 3 per year and most of the lectures are shared with the medics. We are in a prime location for lectures, due to the proximity of many of the medical science departments.
Being such a big college for medics means a great medic community and atmosphere!
