A note on fit

  • This programme is structured and demanding, with a clearly defined study path and consistent expectations over time. You will be expected to keep pace with the curriculum and regular forms of assessment throughout your studies.
  • The programme may not be the best choice if you are looking for a highly flexible study schedule, a slower pace, or a less demanding academic environment.
  • In addition, medical training involves working with patients, learning clinical procedures, and engaging with situations that may be physically or emotionally challenging.

Being realistic about these expectations is an essential part of making an informed decision.
