Undergraduate teaching

PDN organises and/or delivers teaching for the Medical Tripos, the Veterinary Tripos, and the Natural Sciences Tripos within the framework laid down by the Faculty Board of Biology. We also run a very popular research-based Part II course. In 2019, Cambridge University was ranked No 1 worldwide for the study of Anatomy and Physiology.
