Our virtual classroom provides a variety of source exercises, sample lectures, and information. There is no need to work through all of the exercises and lectures on offer here, and we certainly don't expect this of applicants to Cambridge. The main aim of the Virtual Classroom is to help you develop your interests and skills as a historian, and you should look at the exercises and lectures you feel will help you most.

That said, don't be afraid to tackle a subject you haven't studied before; many of our undergraduates find that the papers they enjoy most are on time periods or parts of the world about which they knew next to nothing before arriving at Cambridge! It's for this reason that we have deliberately tried to give you a flavour of periods and places which are often not found on the school syllabus, as well as of things which are. And please don't worry if you find some of the questions in our Source Exercises and Secondary Literature Exercises difficult. They are meant to be challenging, and we certainly don't expect you to know all the answers straight away; we have created the exercises to help you develop your skills.

The books you read before becoming an adult are often those which will stay with you the longest. They become a point of reference as you encounter new experiences and are so important in your formative years, as a love of reading developed at this age will endure through adulthood. Reading at any point in life enables you to continue to learn; develop the habit now and you will set yourself up for a lifetime of learning.

Besides this, having strong writing skills becomes more and more crucial as you approach the age of eighteen, since you'll be preparing a personal statement and honing your essay writing skills in your A-Level courses. For this reason, no matter what you're planning on studying at university, make sure to make reading a part of your routine. Reading, especially more challenging texts, will allow your written expression to develop in exciting ways. Fluency in constructing your own arguments stems from reading others' work. Look no further for some examples of exemplary written expression.
George Eliot, Middlemarch Plot
Eliot interweaves the narratives of the various individuals who inhabit the town of Middlemarch to create a portrait of parochial existence in the nineteenth century. It is a realist novel in which the realities of marriage, religious struggle and following one's vocation are depicted. The two major protagonists are Dorothea Brooke and Dr Lydgate, two intensely ambitious figures who nonetheless make unwise choices. Eliot maps out the consequences of their actions and the ways in which the lives of Middlemarch's inhabitants overlap. The narrative is complex and detailed, making for a challenging read, but it is an immensely rewarding novel; Eliot leaves no stone unturned in her forensic examination of private lives, and her novel is therefore richly satisfying. It is also an early example of a feminist narrative: Eliot uncovers the frustration of women faced with limited opportunities and refuses to conform to the conventional romance narratives which were expected from a female writer at the time.
Who should read it?
The age of 17 or 18 is the ideal time to read this book: the narrative explores the challenges of choosing a direction in terms of career and beliefs and is therefore a timely read if you're deciding what to do or where to go after finishing school. As a landmark in the development of the novel form, Middlemarch is a text of major importance; Eliot experiments with style, form and narrative structure to develop what the novel can do, and the book is therefore an important point of reference when reading twentieth century texts. Anyone who considers themselves a feminist should read this book: Eliot was championing the intellectual and social power of women before feminism even existed, and her contribution to womens' rights must be recognised.
What will it teach you?
This novel has many lessons to teach about decision-making and the importance of prioritising your own ambitions. In addition, its stylistic sophistication, with its sustained metaphors and descriptions of minutiae, creates a model of written fluency. This book is a challenge for a reader of any age; the plot is at times difficult to follow and the language is complex, but for this reason it is the mental equivalent of a workout at the gym. Read this book carefully and it will hugely strengthen your comprehension skills. The exercise of connecting the different narrative threads will develop your ability to connect ideas in any context. The novel is a challenge, but it promises many rewards.
Virginia Woolf, To the Lighthouse Plot

Woolf's novel is set in the Hebrides and follows the Ramsay family as they spend the summer in their summer home which overlooks a distant lighthouse. The narrative adopts the perspective of the different protagonists successively, moving between them as the lighthouse continues to loom in the background. The structure of the novel falls into three distinct parts, the first over the course of two days, the second over ten years, and the third over a few days. These shifting narratorial and temporal perspectives allow for a subtle exploration of relationships, the passing of time and the relationship between thought and reality.
Who should read it?
To the Lighthouse deals with what it is to be a thinking person; it therefore speaks to anyone of any age. Woolf's descriptions of the private thought processes which occur in solitary moments are distinctive and relevant across time, and her style of writing is of interest as an example of literary experimentation. Her work is of particular relevance to anyone looking to develop an appreciation of art; a central concern of the novel is what constitutes 'aesthetic' appreciation of visual experience, and this is fundamental to understanding what art is and how it comes into being.
What will it teach you?
In describing how people think, this novel will prompt you to examine how you think, and how your memories and relationships inform your reactions to experiences and information. This is not only relevant in personal situations; examining your assumptions in an academic context is an important tool when analysing information. As you read this novel, pay attention to Woolf's figurative language and the techniques she uses to connect sensory experience to abstract thought; noticing how effects are achieved is a skill which can be applied to analysing any text.
Further reading suggestions
The above novels are merely a starting point, and you should feel confident in developing your own particular areas of interest when deciding what to read. For example, if you particularly enjoy To the Lighthouse, don't stop there! Explore Woolf's other novels, such as Orlando and Mrs Dalloway, or delve into her non-fiction work. Reading is an act of exploration. Below are some further suggestions of books selected from different genres and time periods which you may find particularly relevant as you approach the age of eighteen, but feel free to take your reading in your own direction.
Novels
Chinua Achebe, Things Fall Apart

Jack Kerouac, On the Road

James Baldwin, Giovanni's Room

Explore the past, present, and future of the NHS in England

The National Health Service (NHS) is a source of British national pride placed above the BBC, the British Olympic team, and the Royal Family. It affects the lives of millions of people.

But have you ever wondered how many people it takes to keep a nation healthy? Or how much money it costs to run the NHS? Or why hospital waiting times are always in the headlines?

This course will help you understand what keeps the fifth largest employer in the world running. You'll explore the challenges facing the system, and how to ensure the NHS is fit for the future.

Learn about the history of the NHS and how it functions today

You'll start the course by delving into the origin story of the national health service. You'll investigate the health system in England pre-NHS, and see how the service has evolved and developed since then.

You'll also examine the NHS's structure, funding, and workforce, to get a fuller picture of how the system functions today.

Investigate current and future challenges facing the NHS

Once you've understood how the NHS delivers its services, you'll dig deeper into the many challenges the system faces. You'll discuss ways of measuring NHS performance, and what resources are needed to keep the nation healthy.

By the end of the four weeks, you'll have a deep understanding of the workings of the NHS in England, and a sense of how the system could evolve in the coming years.

Who is this accredited by?

The UK CanSat Competition

The CanSat competition provides students with the opportunity to have practical experience working on a small-scale space project. They are tasked with designing and building their own simulation of a real satellite, integrated within the volume and shape of a soft drink can. The challenge for students is to fit all the major subsystems found in a satellite, such as power, sensors and a communication system, into this minimal volume. After building their CanSat teams will be invited to launch events across the UK to launch their CanSats on small rockets, with their CanSats returning to Earth using a parachute designed by the students.

Teams are set a primary mission of measuring air pressure and air temperature during the CanSats decent, with data being transmitted to the students' ground station. They are also tasked with design a secondary mission of their choosing. It can be based on other satellite missions, a perceived need for scientific data for a specific project, a technology demonstration for a student-designed component, or any other mission that would fit the CanSat's capabilities.

For those aged 14 and above.

Registration deadline is October 1st and the competition runs until April.
