    First year is pretty standard as they need to teach everyone who is slightly lacking in places so its easy stuff.

    It gets more interesting as you get to 2nd and 3rd year, 3rd being the best i have to say. The lecturers are good as well.

    Will it take longer to get an offer if you are applying for two courses like me?

    Dependant on module, most of the time its 3 hours for a module twice a semester if that makes sense. You will hardly be in the lab in first year really.

    3rd year you get a lot more as you have to do a research project, ive been in the lab for about 8 months doing my stuff for that (longer than most people).

    Its a relatively new course, looks quite good from what i have seen from it, the modules are pretty much the same as biomed anyway.
