liverpool or leicester medicine

Hi there!

So Liverpool is a great city to live in, and very affordable in comparison to many other UK cities. I'll focus on the city itself, as course work I didn't do Medicine so can't provide too much detail there, although I know the course is very strong in Liverpool.

Culture-wise Liverpool really does cater for everything, there is many museums, art galleries, and music venues of all kinds and sizes. The nightlife generally is great, and if you like getting out in the outdoors there is lots of beachs and nice countyside just 15-30 minutes train away. Within the city there is many amazing parks too e.g. Sefton and Princes Park.

Let me know if there is anything specific that you would like to know more about :smile:

Hi everyone, help me choose which medical school to firm!
I am really struggling to decide between the two I have done lots of research and am thinking i prefer the course at Leicester (although still like liverpools course) but prefer liverpool as a city.

Hi I am in the same boat out of interest what did you decide? went to the Leicester offer holder day and course sounded really good waiting for the Liverpool one in 3 weeks and will then decide.

My daughter is in the same boat too choosing between these two. Again, she is going to do the offer holder day in a few weeks and then decide. It's a tough one

Hi there,

Its a great idea to go to the offer holder days from the respective Universities, that way you get a really good 'feel' for what you enjoy and like about the city and University! Let me know if she has any specific questions and I'll do my best to help :smile:

I have a question if you don’t mind are the lectures face to face or online? Leicester was 💯 face to face and lectures are recorded so just wondering about Liverpool. I just wish the offer holder day was sooner so I can make a decision.

Hi so I went to the Liverpool open day yesterday and loved the city, course wise I preferred Leicester and there offer holder day was more informative, but I feel I would also be ok with the Liverpool structure.

The placements seem good and are mainly commutable which was a good thing. Accommodation was nice and loved that everything was walking distance.

So based on spending maybe 6 years in a city I have decided to firm Liverpool.

Did you both go to the offer holder day and what did you think?

My daughter thought very similar to you. Thought the Leicester open day was better organised and liked that she met the lecturers as well as students. She thought the course sounded great there. Liverpool appealed to her more as a city and the placements sound great. Overall she just thought she could see herself in Liverpool for 5 years more, so is going to firm there.
