Applying for a PhD at Cambridge University: my experience |seuninscience

In this video, I finally sit down and recount my experience applying for a PhD at Cambridge.
The thought of applying to Oxbridge can be quite daunting, but just want to say that the answer will always be no, if you never apply!
I talk about my previous application experience at Cambridge, it was not a sucessful the first time round. But this motivated me to try again!
