Open Day
Are you thinking of applying to this university?
Before you do, it's a good idea to go to an open day. You can have a good look around campus, getting a better idea of what it's like to study there. You'll meet current students and staff and get the chance to ask them questions.
Universities will list upcoming open days on their websites. Most will also have virtual open days; these are a great alternative if you really can't get there in person. For tips on preparing for open days, check the advice section here on The Uni Guide.

Good layout and support Interesting lectures staff Assignments are managed and provided with adequate time frame

School holds regular mock exams in every semester, but there are very few questions in the question banks as questions are frequently reused. Course is structured in a 'corkscrew' spiral, starting on basics of every system in 1st year, then building on the knowledge year by year. Timetable is well ...

The course is intensive but generally well balanced. As with most institutions lecturer teaching styles vary therefore different people will find different styles/subject strands easier/harder depending on their learning styles but support directly from lecturers or from supporting staff is good.

Our course is obviously a long course but it’s really interesting and very animal focuses with comparative anatomy throughout the topics. We also get the chance even early on to see the clinical side of what we’re learning.

Course is split into a practical day, small groups day and 2 days of theory. Whilst this is good, it can be quite expensive to travel all the way to campus for an hours practical session
