Why can’t you apply for both? You have 4 choices. I am at Bristol and one of my close friends at Liverpool. Bristol definitely has a heavier focus on independent learning and group learning as opposed to the lecture heavy nature of Liverpool. There is pros and cons to both of these but it’s just dependent on how you prefer to learn.

Bristol have recently upped the animal handling and clinical skills that are done in the preclinical years and I know Liverpool also start clinical skills quite early. Both hold equal accreditation so that isn’t too much of an issue if you are interested in that!
