More integrated curriculum with placement earlier on, rather than 3 years of pure science which I would not have enjoyed. London life seemed fun and exciting.
Course Curriculum :
Have lots of friends at other medical schools and I do think King's has the best course in terms of the varied nature of teaching we get, the quality, and the placement sites and opportunities. Strong emphasis on widening participation, diversity and culture which I think is essential.
Exams :
I needed AAA at A Level in Chemistry + Biology/Maths/Physics, and one other. I achieved AAA in Chemistry, Biology, Spanish. UKCAT (now called UCAT) I achieved 673 average. Band 2 in Situational Judgement section.
Placement :
King's is leading in research and has many opportunities. Intercalated BSc and Masters is pushed for and undertake a research project whilst on the medical curriculum
Events :
So good! Can't go wrong with London as so much going on and every opportunity, but also campus has a strong sense of community and everyone tends to live in the same area so you still feel like you are part of a student community. Sport at the medical school is really good and again is a great way to make friends.
Scholarship :
N/A
Faculty :
Relatively even mix of male to female. Staff are all very high up in their field but don't get to know them that well due to high number of students on courses and in faculty.
Hostel :
Student halls available at varied cost. All single rooms in flats, some with en-suite. Pay more for more central location
