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.
