Liked it. The atmosphere was absolutely amazing and all the people were so nice when I went for the open day. I felt like the course was also just my calling - it had so many components I loved and I just had my heart set.

Course Curriculum

10

The course is great I love it. However, the workload is extremely full and demanding and leaves you a bit exhausted. But I guess that's expected because it's a pretty demanding job too. But overall good.

Exams

I undertook the WACE exams and got an ATAR of 98.55 in November 2017. I undertook UMAT twice too whilst trying to get into Medicine.

Placement

8

Right now I'm pretty sure they are at a fairly good level. I hope they remain like that for when I graduate. I guess this is maybe because the intake of students into the course is pretty low so I have that to be grateful for.

Internship

Yes- I am not quite sure about the exacts but I do know they offer them from talking to older year groups and from the sound of it. It's a great experience that really prepares you for the real world.

Events

7

A wide range of multicultural events. Such as Pasar-Malan, Diwali. Always have foot markets and vegan and gluten-free expos and Togo nights. The atmosphere is always buzzing and great who would not love it.

Fees

40000 for domestic students for the whole course. This comes with student and amenities fees over like 100 a semester. With scholarships, it's cut down though so that's good.

Scholarship

Yes - high achievers scholarship of 15000. This is given to be in increments of 2500 a semester too

Examination Structure

Multiple choice and short answers. Multichoice is generally a lot more difficult than usual but the written exams go for two hours and prac exams and 3 x 6-minute station which you rotate around. It's stressful.

Faculty

7

Really friendly, no one is stuck up or a snob and everyone generally get along. It feels like a little family which is always nice. We could probably do more social events though.

Hostel

6

I live at home with my parents and sister and take the bus and train to uni every day which is a one hour journey but it?s okay because I like to study on the train. Living at home makes things a lot easier
