Re: 1911 Census query on Medical Occupation

I have a fellow in the 1911 Census in Hertfordshire who at age 23, gives me a medical occupation I'm not sure about.

The transcript says: B A ANTAB; Medical Student

However the original census image says: B. A. (Cantab); Medical Student

Can someone with some expert knowledge suggest what this might equate to?


Thanks

BA - Bachelor of Arts. Letters you can put after your name when you get a degree (in most subjects, including science!).

Cantab = Nothing to do with Canterbury, but short for "of Cambridge (University)" in Latin (Cantabrigiensis).
