The quality of teaching on this course is very good, some professors have different methods of teaching and some are better than others, but overall the standard is very high. The personal tutors are very helpful if you need any assistance or advice for anything course related, or even problems with your accommodation or well-being. The modules on this course are very informative and engaging, and are all accredited by the IBMS, allowing you to progress into a career in the NHS should that be what you’d like. There is also a range of placement years you can do, such as industry or a year abroad. Throughout the course, but particularly in the final year, the professors are extremely helpful with helping you find and explore career opportunities and there are many career events across campus throughout the year. read more
