Everything about Tripos
Bachelor's exam or course at Cambridge
A Tripos is an academic examination that originated at the University of Cambridge in Cambridge, England. The term encompasses both the examinations required for undergraduate students to qualify for a bachelor's degree and the courses of study undertaken to prepare for such examinations. Undergraduate students studying mathematics, for instance, ultimately take the Mathematical Tripos, students of English literature take the English Tripos, and Students interested in sciences take the Natural Sciences Tripos.
