Starting your first postgraduate degree, especially if you will be studying at a new university (or even in an entirely new country) can be daunting. There are so many things to sort out: how to find your way around the university, how to navigate your way around the library or libraries you’ll be using, and how to access the array of resources, software, and other tools you’ll need to use during your studies. CamGuides is here to help. In it, you’ll find help getting started with essential academic, research, and digital practices for your postgraduate studies. While CamGuides was set up with new taught Master’s students in mind, anyone new to Cambridge is likely to find it useful. It’s accessible without a Raven login, meaning incoming students can start exploring without needing to have begun their course.

Please feel free to contact the Medical Library for any questions you may have about resources, training, or using the library as a new student at Cambridge.
