Are there fixed subject quotas?
No, except for Medicine and Veterinary Medicine. At Newnham we are usually allocated about ten medics and three vets each year. In all other subjects, we do not fix numbers in advance; instead our policy is to admit applicants on academic merit alone. We do try and maintain a broad balance between Arts and Science subjects in the College, and we also keep an eye out for our so-called minority subjects: ASNC, History of Art, Land Economy, Linguistics, Music, Theology, etc.
