My name is Holly.
and i'm studying medicine at the University of Manchester. I wanted to get into the hospital as
soon as possible
and the early clinical experiences allowed you to do that.
We got to go to different hospitals
that manchester
were kind of in charge of
and as a medical school and I really enjoyed it. The first two years
because it's problem based learning there is a lot of time that you're left
to learn on your own
and there's not as much time in the
university, but
for me that was a good thing. I don't want to be stuck
Life a teaching hospital
is busy
and it can be challenging
but
also the staff know its a teaching hospital and so they're aware that
you need to be taught while you're having these experiences
personally I think the support for the students is very good at Manchester
I'm not sure
whether that's because I'm in Preston and and so that undergraduate team is very
close. Everyone knows each others' names
But I get that it's probably like that throughout all of the hospitals
I genuinely think that the support is there.
I know friends that had difficult times and they've always been able to
find someone that is happy to talk to them and who also helped them
the University of Manchester...
I mean I haven't experienced other universities but
I think it has so much to give socially.
Manchester as a whole has so many different societies I think
everyone that comes to the university will be able to find a society
they're interested in. The advice I'd give any person that's thinking
of applying to the University of Manchester to study medicine
would be don't think its all about the grades. At all. I think Manchester is a very
well-rounded medical school
they want you to be good at academics but they also and I think more
importantly want you to be good at communicating with people.
