It was one of those closer to home but still with a good reputation and offering the course I wanted. The entry requirements also fit my A level results and the people at the open day seemed nice. The course was selected through clearing.
Course Curriculum :
So far seems fairly basic, learning the background of biology and micro and cellular biology. Topics get increasingly interesting as years progress.
Exams :
GCSE (10) English Baccalaureate with triple science, A-Level (3) Maths Biology and Chemistry.
Fees :
I was charged 9250(UK Limit) per year of study. Paid for by Student Loans Company. Accommodation around 164/week.
Examination Structure :
Exams at the end of every semester, or year depending on if the module runs across both terms. Computer-based assessment, practical lab assessments as well as formal written examinations in the examination hall.
Faculty :
Good level researchers in their field, many graduating from Cambridge, seemingly with a good level of knowledge. Same faculty in the first year, after which it diversifies.
Hostel :
Private off-campus student accommodation.
