Has Leicester ever had clearing on results day for medicine?

Hi there!

Thanks for your message! Sadly Medicine is not included in our clearing subjects.

I was wondering about the accommodation in the uni. I have seen a few photos, but I was wondering if bringing my own furniture - such as a chair, would be allowed?

Hi @kagnikerte !

Thank you for your question and interest in coming to study at University of Leicester!

All of our student accommodations are furnished, which means you don't need to bring your own furniture such as chairs, tables, or bed etc. But if you'd prefer your own chair, it is allowed!

For more information, such as prices and virtual room tours, have a look at our accommodation website: https://le.ac.uk/about/campus-development/freemens

Hope this helps! :smile:

Do the halls you go into matter socially? I'm planning on going into the pavillions and all I hear online is that I'm going to be isolated lol.

Hi @Mayye35,

Great to hear from you! Have you accepted an offer from the University of Leicester?
That's not true at all about the Pavillions! This accommodation is located within our village accommodation and there are many social activities to be a part of. We have a variety of accommodation which all offer different things. The Pavillions specifically have a communal kitchen which invites you to interact with your flatmates. The ResLife team at the university provide different activities and welcome events which happen every evening, all of which are free! We also have a free shuttle bus that runs from the village accommodation in Oadby to the university campus allowing you to attend societies and clubs in the evenings too. Societies and clubs are one of the best ways to meet new people and try new things!

Best of luck!

I was wondering what laptop I need to study engineering. I'm going to be studying general engineering this September but I'm thinking of specialising in mechanical engineering later. What laptop would you recommend?

Hi @hat25,

Thanks for your message. I am unsure on that myself, however if you visit the Engineering Course website, you can learn more about the course and even chat to current students.

Any other questions, do let us know! :biggrin:

Hello, I have some questions that I'd appreciate your guidance with regarding foundation medicine the A199 course

1) How do students find foundation year compared to A levels, was it manageable?
2) How are assessments set out in terms of grading and frequency?
3) Would it be better to do this foundation course if wanting help before beginning the main?
4) And with this course you need to score at least 70% according to the website, does this mean all assessments, finals or year average?
5) An ipad is given to all med students, what if i have my own already?

Thank you very much
