Laid back and very relaxed atmosphere. The teaching is very personal and tutors are very knowledgable too. They ensure all members of the class understand a topic before moving on. Very approachable and professional too. Syllabus and timetable are easy to follow.
View morePersonally, I believe that the university is well organised, not only for the professional manner of the teachers, but also because they been very helpful and often available to give advice and information about the exams. Also I really appreciate the practical way of the lessons and the exams, respect the Italian- university structure, where are mostly common Theoretical exams.

View moreI started this year at ARU medical school in Chelmsford, Essex and I am part of the first graduating class. Although I’ve only been a med student for less than a year now, I can genuinely say that I am full of enthusiasm about the program and the experience in general. There is a good balance of fundamental sciences and basic knowledge and clinical exposure. My placements up to now have been enlightening and everyone has been super welcoming. As a new school, there is always room for improvement, but everyone is working hard and I am positive that better things will come with time. I encourage people that are looking for a medical school close to London but in a smaller town to come visit ARU med school in an open day and to apply to start their journey towards becoming a doctor.
View moreI really enjoyed the course and the friendly and welcoming environment. I particularly enjoyed my final year of my studies due to the modules. My favourite modules were International Law and EU law. I would definitely recommend the university. The only thing I would change is the employability department as I did not find it helpful nor facilitating.
