Easiest Course at Cambridge University?

This might seem like a funny question, but does anyone have ideas on what the easiest course at Cambridge University might be? My major is demanding and I'm looking for a course to balance things out a bit.

Determining the "easiest" course at any university, let alone an institution as rigorous as Cambridge University, can be a bit tricky, as the rigor of the courses often depends on the student's specific skills and interests. For example, if you're a natural at mathematics, you might find a math-centric course easier than someone else might.

That being said, I would counsel against looking for the easiest course. Rather, you'd be better served to find courses outside of your speciality that genuinely interest you, as those tend to feel less like work and more like a break. Cambridge has an extensive course offering in areas like art history, sociology, and philosophy. If any of these spark your interest, consider exploring them as an outlet from your more rigorous major coursework.

Additionally, Cambridge is known for hosting inspiring guest lectures and seminars which could provide a nice break from your main course. These events often range from current affairs to architecture, and so much more. They often have no prerequisites, and they could provide mental variety to your schedule without adding any additional coursework.

Remember to check the course load and expectations before you sign up, particularly if your main goal is to reduce stress and workload. This information should be available in the course description or can be discussed with the course instructor.
