Does sombody knows if this program is recomended?I heared some bad reviews such as: 1.negelgece by the university staff torwards students2. very unorgenized studying system to deliver the knowledge3. exsams which are too dificult to pass or imposible to have a good grade 4. problems finding jobs after graduation in the UK or other countries in europeAnd more...Can sombady confrim this info or has a differnt info regarding this program ?If anybody knows would you tecomend this program?

as a final year, i would recommend it. I don't know where you're hearing these reviews from but I disagree with them personally.
1. Negligence? In general? That's a very broad statement. One student complaining about being neglected does not mean every single student has the same experience. There are bad professors and there are good ones. Just like any other university.
2. very unorganised studying system? I'm confused. They are lectures, tutorials and CLINICAL teaching from year 2. I did 3 years in the UK for my bachelors degree and the teaching system is the exact same. Lectures, tutorials and clinical teaching. Literally the same as the UK. I completely completely disagree with this one.
3. this is the most inaccurate one. Exams are NOT 'too' difficult to pass. Yes, there are a few people that fail the exams but that is the case in EVERY OTHER university. Impossible to have a good grade? I would say 99% of the exams have a bell curve. meaning some students get A's, some C's. Some fail. but the majority in the B+, A- region. So again, completely disagree with this one.
4. Most of the people that applied to the UK for jobs have gotten it. The ones who didn't get in is because they didn't do well in either the SJT exam or the interview and that has nothing to do with the university. The majority of graduates have gotten jobs in the UK. I don't know about Europe so I'm not gonna comment on that.

I would say all of the points you mentioned are inaccurate and I'm not sure where you're getting these reviews from. I would be careful and would not believe a comment from one person who failed and left the uni possibly and has a sour taste left behind.
actually, out of curiosity, can i see where you found these reviews? I'm genuinely shocked that someone has said the exams are way too difficult to pass

Sorry, just another question, do you know of any non-EU citizens that did their residency in the UK? Or know where any South African citizens went to do their residency?

sorry i completely missed this. Yes there's so far been one or two non-eu who are doing their residency in the UK. It is a simple process and you just got to follow it step by step.
The only reason it's 1 person is because only 1 non-eu decided to go to UK, there will be more from my year when we graduate.

MD program.
This is the forum for the MD program.

I can't speak on behalf of the MBBS program.

Hey :smile:
So yes, i would definitely recommend it.

When i came 4 years ago i was definitely skeptical, i wasn't sure what i was getting myself into. However, i can safely say now that i do not regret a singe decision i made.
The doctors, professors, facilities, library - everything is what you would want it to be in a medical school. Could there be improvements in certain professors? yes, but what university doesn't need improvements.

The anatomy lab has enough cadavers for everyone and if not they split the groups to the according sizes. The clinical labs where we practice OSCEs is really good. The way they programme is designed - the first 3.5 years being 80% lecture/tutorial/PBL based and 20% being clinical practice. Then the shift to 4th year + where its 95% clinical is really good. Even the 20% clinical in years 1-3 are so good - you technically learn all the different kinds of clinical examinations.

Year 1 is a bit boring because it is bio, chem, physics etc.. so you just have to push through that - its mainly there to filter those who won't be able to deal with the pressure.
Our first graduating cohort is this year and if there are any updates i will let you know :smile:

If you have any specific questions, do let me know.
