University of Sheffield Speciality : Medicine And Surgery
programme: General Medicine

I absolutely love the lifestyle in Sheffield and do loads of outdoors activities that I don’t think I could access so readily anywhere else at all & the societies and number of enthusiastic and lovely people into climbing and biking and running and other outdoorsy things is phenomenal. Having said that I study medicine and the course so far has been pretty disorganised as all lectures are run by medical professionals with a particular interest in that subject area, but who aren’t given very much guidance about what we need to know as students at our level, and different lecturers for each lecture (this is generally the case) leads to very little continuity of teaching. Patient contact early on is good and the sessions with GPs and anatomy teachers in the early years are extremely helpful and friendly.
