    Cambridge Experience physics and engineering
    I applied for a Sutton Trust summer school at Cambridge for engineering and was unsuccessful. I was then offered a place on the Experience Cambridge Physics and engineering course. Its new and no one knows anything about it. I've agreed to take part - I think Id be stupid not to - but just wonder if anyone else is taking part or knows anything about it. Thanks

    Yeah i got a letter saying how competitive the sutton trust was this year, so they offered me a place on the programme instead. Not sure what it involves though...

    Got an email today with all the work. It's not massive but it is challenging

    I've done most of the kinematics and dynamics questions, just struggling with one or two dynamics questions

    Haha, yeah i can't guarantee that my answers are right either!!
    I found the kinematics questions much easier, what about you?

    Hey...

    So I just noticed today that there are questions for the physics programme. Any idea if they're compulsory?
