After the first year he dropped Physics and took Physiology instead. He took 3 years to complete his Part I for which he obtained a BA. (The interview doesn't mention the class of his degree). He then did Biochemistry for a year for his Part II. This suggests a total of 4 years. The interview doesn't give dates but the title on the video segment has "Cambridge Undergraduate 1936-1939" which suggests a total of only 3 years (but could be 4 years). (I notice that the link to the video is no longer correct.)

The article stated that he graduated in both 1939 and 1940. The latter is correct. I've also updated the URL for the video of the Brownlee interview. I'm surprised to find that my university no longer gives me access. Fortunately I have a downloaded copy. I normally prefer printed articles but this

There are 4 scientists who have won the Nobel Prize twice, namely Marie Curie (1 Ph, 1 Ch), John Bardeen (2 Ph), Frederick Sanger (2 Ch), and Linus Pauling (1 Ch, 1 Peace). Sanger is the only person who has won the prize in the field of chemistry twice, with the other 3 winning twice in different

I'm not familiar with the Tripos system either but the present text seems fine. I took the information from segment 10 of the Brownlee interview. For the first year of his Part I Sanger studied Physics, Chemistry and two half subjects, Biochemistry and Maths. He struggled with Maths and Physics.
941:
I've looked at Segment 11 of the Brownlee interview. It mentions that Sanger was studying for the Part II of the Tripos in 1939-40 at the beginning of WWII. He therefore obtained his Part I (a BA) in 1939 and his Part II (an MA?) in 1940.

1375:, although I get why they are stiff (all Nobel prize descriptions follow that format) it would be good to give it a bit more human flow, so I agree with you. I would support your proposed edits. 1439: 1335:
should the descriptions of his two Nobel Prizes merely be the official citations which are written in a stiff, rather unfriendly style? I feel like his first could be something like

The opening para says he's the only one to win the nobel prize twice "in chemistry", but the next paragraph says there were 4 -- 3 now deceased -- to have won twice. This just means

The article states that he was 40 in 1916 when he married. Given that he was born in 1918, this seems unlikely on all levels. Correction required.

It says that he went up to Cambridge in 1936 and took 3 years to do his Part 1, but still graduated in 1939. When did he fit in his Part 2 study?
