I strongly believe this university results in good doctors. But that is not a result of the organisation of the course. Lecturers persistently do not turn up. A lot of the time lecturers appear to not be interested in the subject they are teaching. I’m going into third year, starting in one weeks time, yet still have not received a timetable. The medical school are unreceptive to placement changes. Only changing them under ‘extreme’ circumstances. Giving allocations with no due respect to where you live. e.g travelling 2 /3 hours to placement. Ignoring the poor organisation, the flow of modules is good. However most learning will be done on your own. The PBL style of teaching is good, however leaves room for improvement with the case studies provided.

I study medicine and it’s very well supported and guided. The only thing I would say is that the terms are very long! Medicine is very hard to get into but when you’re in all the people want you to pass!

It’s (I think) quite a small uni which I love because you always bump into people you know..obviously there’s still thousands of people you don’t know so it’s not weird. There is an amazing community feel with EVERYONE going to the campus club on Saturday..there are clubs in town that everyone goes to in the week. The societies are great and the nightlife is more about the people…I come from a big city and would say I was underwhelmed by the nights out at first but have now found people that make every night out hilarious and nuts so now go out about 5x a week. Would say in general everyone’s v friendly. Campus gym is quite a peak, quite small and always busy. The campus is SO UGLY BUT SO BEAUTIFUL – the buildings are so ugly and concrete but the lake and the grounds are honestly amazing and wonderful to spend time there during the summer
