Lol yes. A degree from any Cambridge college is extremely worthwhile, and I imagine employers care little about the specific college.
Is your Brother year 5? Is he old enough to ask for himself?
TSR is honestly just, the most.

I can't even...

Consider yourself excused.

A serious answer: your degree is awarded by the University, not your College.
Also a Cambridge degree certificate doesn't even mention the course you took, never mind your college.
I'm intrigued which colleges are included in 'etc' ............



I'd recommend OP's brother to read this, when learns how to handle internet things. . :wink:

Tell your brother yes - there is still a point going if it's not Trinity or Kings. But maybe not Johns...

You can choose to have your certificate issued by your college, with their name and crest on, if you like. Actually many do. Their patriotism on their own college usually stronger than their feeling for the university.

Yeah, but not a trace of her beloved college at all, and that's what matters more to many..........it seems......:tongue:

It was because of timing issue she ended up with the uni one, not because I thought the uni one was better, though. :wink:

That's interesting actually, about no course on it. I may be a bit " thick" here so apologies in advance 😜. Are there any implications re that in the employment market?

There's no course, AND no classification either. But your transcript has all the specific details.

I think employers can cope.

Oh and then there's the MA thing to confuse people too :smile:
