Hi Sarah,
I am also starting in Sept at the Westlakes campus. I see there are some mandatory and some optional courses. I am from Canada so my English is good. With respect to the other optional courses, why would I take them? Which are helpful for future years?
Thank you!

Hey, I did my foundation for medicine at the westlakes campus. I’m a 3rd year medical student and my placements are going to be there this year . If you have any questions regarding the course and the school you can message me and I’ll try to answer them.

Hi, got an invite for foundation year here at UCLan, how would you say your experience has been ?? Did you enjoy the foundation year ? What about the placements ? How do you like them ? Overall, how is your time at UCLan ? Please let me know if you can, thank you )

Hi there!
I'm one of the current MBBS students at UCLan so hopefully I can help a little! I also studied a foundation year in medical sciences!

I found the foundation year a great way to bridge the gap between a-levels and a degree and it helped me to solidify all of my basic sciences knowledge and improve my academic writing skills!

As for placements, during the 5 year MBBS degree, we have some placements in year 1&2 which are usually based in community. These are great for getting to know how the NHS works as a system and starting to put into practise some of the communication skills you'll have learnt! In years 3,4&5, we have full time placements based in hospitals and community where you further develop your skills and learn more about different conditions. Overall I have really enjoyed my time at UCLan so far!

If you have any other questions, please let me know!

Thank you so much for getting back !
Can I ask what about UCLan stood out to you ? Why did you choose it as a medical school ?
Thank you for proving any information regarding this.
They also test your math and English skill before interview, as an international, could you please throw some light on what they might be testing with these skills and how to prepare for it ?
Also long did you prepare for your interview? I have a week to prepare for it and am quite nervous, would that be enough ?

Hi @demonslayer14,

Thank you for your question about the Math and English skill test, for further guidance on this I would recommend you reach out to our friendly international admissions team who will be able to provide further support. You can contact the team by email at [email protected]
