Applied medical sciences course at Swansea university

Hi everyone,

I've applied for the applied medical sciences course at Swansea University and was wondering if anybody else has applied or studies this course? I couldn't find many reviews about this course on TSR and nothing much on a general google search but, any reviews, good or bad things about the uni as well would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance :smile:

Yes, I’ve got my offer! So excited, I’m just waiting for my last offer before I firm Applied Medical Science. I like how well rounded the course seems. I also applied to Cardiff and USW but withdrew when I had my offer from Swansea x

That's great! I like the diverse range of topics that you get to learn - there's so much variety! I applied to Cardiff too, I'm quite tempted to firm Swansea but I'm just waiting for 2 more uinversity replies so I go ahead and do it :smile: x

So we could be together😃 it would be nice to know someone before we start. I’m so excited. I’m hoping to do GEM after it so I like the diversity you get with the course than other courses x

Potentially! It would be great to know somebody, but I'm not 100% sure yet if I'd firm them because I haven't been to open day so, I'd deffo like to get a feel of the city, students, lecturers. Have you been to an open day? :smile: x

Yes!! I preferred Swansea to Cardiff. I felt like I didn’t fit in at Cardiff and I didn’t like how the the buildings are spread out opposed to Swansea Campus. USW is lovely and was my 1st choice but I feel as if Swansea will give me better opportunities so they are my firm. I’ve also applied to Medical Biochemistry and Medical Genetics, but I think Applied Medical Science is my number one. Just waiting for the next Open Day before I firm which course x

Ahh, I see. I liked the feel of Cardiff slightly more (having said that I haven't yet been to an open day at Swansea yet) plus, the lecturers just seem really friendly and honest - I'm sure Swansea lecturers will be the same but, we just have to wait for the open day. Ah okay, I only considered applied medical sciences I didn't really look at any other courses within the uni if I'm honest x

That's cool, to be honest it was really hard deciding what to firm I think Swansea really did look great but I suppose there was just something about Bristol and the city that I really liked. I'm planning to study pharmacology, are you still intending on studying applied med Sci at Swansea? I know the feeling! Thank you, just crossing fingers that everything goes positively now :smile: x

Yes still Applied Med Sci!! Fingers crossed😃x
I know this is 3 years late but haha, but did you end up going to Swansea in the end? I’m thinking of doing applied medical science there too. How did you find it and are you doing GEM? :smile:
