The University of Central Lancashire provides medical training to the highest UK standards with a modern, spiral curriculum designed to build on your knowledge gradually.

The most challenging part of our medical course, which I am sure is similar at other Medical Schools, is the workload. I did an undergraduate degree in anatomy and physiology which has helped me tremendously, but often still feel overwhelmed by the sheer amount of knowledge and information we need to absorb. Subjects like anatomy and pharmacology take time to study and effort to remember afterwards. Everything we learn prepares us for our careers as Doctors, and therefore is vitally important and we need to fully understand and recall this information to make good clinical decisions in the future.
The social side of the Medical School is always buzzing. There is always a new society to join, a new conference to attend (whether in person or online) or a new event to take part in. We often attend suturing workshops and group study sessions prior to exams, but not all events are linked to studies.
The Medical society holds an annual medical ball, quiz nights, sporting events and other fun activities. There are different societies run by various students catering for different interests and all of them try to incorporate social events into their calendars.
