Which universities are good/ well known for medicine?

Hi I'm hoping to apply for medicine in 2016, and wanted to know what uni's are most well known for their medicine course.

I don't really trust surveys and rankings so I wanted to hear your opinions on the best unis out there for this course !

thanks

Leeds have a great medical course. It's a great city with excellent teaching from lecturers. from what I've heard they provide students with good placements and are very good from the administration side of things.

Oxford, UCL and Queen Mary are probably in my top 5 for medicine ^-^

Whichever university will take you! They're all credited by the GMC and have to meet the same teaching objectives and most courses are now very similarly structured. It's now more a balance of which university you will have the best chance at gaining a place at and which one would be the place you'd prefer to live.
