Wonderful & receptive staff, plenty of teaching opportunities. Truly a course with a world-clasd reputation. Grateful to be a student here. Internatonal fees high, but expected of that of a UK medical school.

I have many peripheral placements, but I prefer it that way since the teachings are good! I’ve really learnt so much going to hospitals over these past few weeks. Can’t wait to see what the upcoming months have in store! read more

Varied teaching material and methods right from the beginning. Some lecturers leave a lot to be desired but these are few and far between, and the organisers of each module are always passionate and make excellent lecturers. Except genetics. Career prospects are great, particularly as in Edinburgh you will meet many valuable contacts and gain exposure to research as well as practice. read more
