    Second year biomeds...
    I'm about to start my second year studying Biomed and I'm just wondering if the students that have just finished their second year had any lectures or labs after your exams this year? Looking to book a holiday but obviously don't want it to clash. Thanks for any help in advance.

    Very unlikely you'll find anyone on here. Maybe go on the facebook group (assuming there is one)?

    Hi kittycat, I've just finished first year. Our timetable was quite nice! We had lectures Monday 10-12, 1-3; Labs on Tuesday 10-1 with the very occasional afternoon labs 2-5 (but that was only twice over the whole year); lectures on Thursday 12-4.
    We only had two pieces of coursework to hand in throughout the entire year - the rest of your coursework marks (in all four modules) come from being assessed in the lab - these are really easy marks to gain and take the heat off from your exams!

    Hi! The year above us were on a different syllabus to us so their second year would have differed - perhaps email Dr Ahmed and ask him instead?
