For someone applying here, this is really useful for me in preparing for the interview if I'm asked 'why manchester.' thanks so much for making this video!
THANK YOU SO MUCH for making this video. I'm hoping for an interview for the 6-year course, because I don't do any science, BUT I do A-level French, and the MbChb with European Studies is the most perfect thing for me. This will certainly help me with the hobbies/why manchester sections thank you so much.
Hi, thanks so much for watching and for your comment. Yes for the paper exams they are 100% MCQ. Apart from that though there are also clinical exams and these are exams in which your skills are tested. So you will be asked to perform certain skills and an examiner observes and marks you. Every year will have a mix of both paper and clinical exams. I hope that helps! :)
@@shizza2588 this is for annual exams and for finals. Practical exams are always worth more than the MCQ exams + in final year you have 2 additional national exams external to university which are must be sat by all medical students graduating that year in the whole of the UK.
Thank you so much for your lovely comment, it means so much to me 🥰 I upload one new video a week, usually on the weekends. I look forward to seeing you around here!
@@Annnabannanna hi Anna, I’m so sorry but for some reason I have only just seen this comment? Lectures are 1-2 hours long and in first and second year we had about 5-6 a week x
Heyyy, quick question, for those who have to work at Preston during the clinical years, would that be for all 3 years? Would you not be able to experience working at other hospitals during this time?
Hi, thanks for your comment. For those who are allocated to Preston they would be there for the whole 3 years. You may get to go to some small surrounding hospitals but the vast majority of the time will be in the Preston hospital.
This is a great course to do. It is a postgraduate course for existing doctors though, so you will need to already have a degree in MBChB or MBBS in order to enroll onto this course.
Yes it’s given to everyone if you are at a hospital other than your base. As for how much it covers it depends on what transport method you take. It’s a fair amount considering you get £150-200 at the start of the year too.
Hey, thanks for watching. Unfortunately I’m not 100% sure if they do PBL in pharmacy. I don’t want to give you any incorrect information! I’d recommend going through the teaching and learning/course structure section on the UOM website for pharmacy :)
Hi Farah, you would need to look into taking the PLAB exams as I believe these are required in order for you to practice in the UK. Beyond that I’m not the best person to ask as I am not very knowledgeable on the routes to take to start working in the UK as an International Medical Graduate. Sorry that I couldn’t help more!
Hi, thank you for watching my video! For the non academic form to be honest I just copied and used parts of my personal statement for the relevant sections and maybe added a sentence or two. I know it says you’re not meant to do that but I just felt so tired of application related tasks at that point that I just didn’t have the energy to write something completely new. Also I invested a lot of time and effort into my personal statement. It was written really well and included everything I wanted, and that’s what I wanted them to see. Good luck with your application, I hope everything has gone well so far :)
@@hibbear thank you sooo much! You have no idea how happy I am to hear that because I worked really hard on my personal statement over the past few weeks and I didn't want it to go to waste.
Hi, thanks for watching. Yes you can intercalate in a different university if you study at Manchester, however they only let you intercalate at a different university if the University of Manchester does not offer the same or a very similar degree. Hope that helps.
@@mangelo_1855 hi, I can’t remember exactly as it’s been a while since I first started but all of your qualification certificates and some sort of ID/passport I think (to prove if you are a home/European/International student). Hope that helps.
No PBL doesn’t mean there aren’t any lectures. It just means you aren’t taught 100% through lectures. At Manchester you’ll have around 5-6 lectures a week compared to 10-15 lectures a week on a lecture based course. When I was in first and second year, all lectures were in person, although they were recorded so students didn’t have to attend and could watch from home if they preferred. Post-COVID I’m not sure if lectures have moved back in person yet or are still online, because I’m no longer in my pre-clinical years. I hope that helps x
Can you please tell me if there any scholarships for indian students to study medicine in UoM . I want to study medicine in university of Manchester but i don't know what to do.
if placed at Preston for clinical placements, is it compulsory to move into Preston City or can you still stay at Manchester City with regards to student accommodation ?
Hi Marcus, thanks for your comment. No it is not compulsory for you to move to Preston, however, due to the long commute, the vast majority of students (if not all) will move.
I don’t know how it works for an international student, but you need a student visa to come in the UK, before that you need to check if you respect the entry requirements for applying for Manchester university and you can compare the grades you got in Year 13 in Bangladesh by doing A-levels or equivalents. The best thing to do is to email the university and ask them directly for a better understanding.
