King's College London Programs: Tuition fees, Ranking, Scholarships, Application Deadlines & Entry Requirements

Course Curriculum:

The course is divided into two segments. The first year is known as common year 1. In this year every student studies the same modules (Biochemistry, pharmacology, anatomy, neuroscience, chemistry, genetics etc) In the following year and final year you are able to choose very specific modules which tailor towards your personal interests. My theme this year is Neuropharmacology. The modules I am studying include Drugs and Disease, Neuroscience, psychology, Neuroscience and the mind, Medical Microbiology, Physiology and Pharmacology of the nervous system and drug discovery and development. The modules include a mix of lectures, practicals, tutorials and seminars. During second year students are also provided an opportunity to study a year abroad such as UCLA and there is also an opportunity for a placement year in industry. The faculty provides great guidance towards achieving these opportunities.

Fees:

£9250/- for UK residents

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.

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:

The course curriculum and academics at KCL are very valuable and provides a good foundation to practice as a doctor in the future. There is plenty of theoretical knowledge and clinical practice opportunities to back it up. We are given placements in hospitals to gain experience in the different departments including mental health, general medicine and various specialities. Through lectures, tutorials and hospital teaching sessions, the essentials of medicine and skills needed to be a capable doctor are taught.

I chose King's College London for various reasons - its global and national ranking for Medicine at the time of application, reputation of the school, quality of education as well as benefit on studying in a city like London
