Challengin and yet exciting UY1

Studying medicine at UYI is quite challenging due to the lack of necessities needed for practice. Medicine requires you to constantly practice what you learn theoretically but this aspect here is a bit compromised. All the same, they have amazing teachers, one of the best in Africa, and a magnificent environment conducive to studies. I would recommend a hard-working student to enrol here but if not hardworking I don't recommend UY1 for you

Learning in a practical way

This university has a lot of qualities such as adapting to students in order to optimize learning, and the desire to confront the student as quickly as possible with the world of work. On the other hand, I would criticize this school for poorly disseminated information and a gloomy community life.

Greedy, deceiving, not student-focus

It's sad that this is institution allows their admission officer to lie and misinform potential students during enrollment to get working adults to enroll into full-time studies instead of part-time so they could make more profit. I enrolled into one term of online program as a working adult. Some instructors (not all) weren't supportive and were quite rude - at time quite unprofessional and disrespectful. The school's portal wasn't user-friendly. Overall, the institution and instructors were below par, quite unorganized and there was nothing to shout about. The high tuition fees definitely did not justify what you get.
