What students say about surgery

The staff and students around the campus are always so welcoming and friendly. It really makes me enjoy where I’m studying. I think something that could be improved is the university’s response to student based issues.

What students say about surgery

I love the campus and the atmosphere we have. its a beautiful place to study and i have enjoyed my time here. All the staff are wonderful, I have a brilliant supervisors and enjoy my course. I have learnt a lot whilst at Lancaster However, i find that the student union is broken, it does not uphold its own beliefs. The societies may work but the actual student union body is useless. it needs and overhall, and needs attention brought to the actions of the staff and how people follow their regulations.

What students say about surgery

The support from university and staff has been amazing! Teaching is outstanding and great facilities. Only downfall is Aberdeens student life and location, the campuses aren’t very close together for people who rely on public transport . I find being a driver just as hard due to lack of parking and costs. £5.75+ per day to park adds up a lot for someone who doesn’t come from a wealthy family.

The Students Union is honestly the best part of the University of Sheffield. With over 300 societies, you're sure to find something to your liking. Apart from that, the university has great facilities and the Diamond (engineering building) has anything you could ever need. 10/10 uni.

What students say about surgery

I've loved studying at the University of Plymouth so far! Staff are really friendly and have always been really happy to help. The SU is great for relaxing between lectures during the day as well as for clubbing on a Saturday night. I'm also really enjoying my course and Plymouth is in a great location to try out fieldwork in different habitats.

Best aspect is the wonderful array of societies and extra curricular activities on campus, including my personal favourite Musicality! Worst part is probably the obscene charge for student card replacements, mine was stolen and I was still asked to pay £15!

What students say about surgery

I like how everything is on campus, convenient, I love the study spaces available at varying levels of quietness. The student union is cheap but could do with a bit of updating. I like the assessments we are given, a variety like presentations and essays writing blogs however the feedback could be more informative. I definitely miss home more than I thought so I wish I had chosen a closer uni most of my friends are off campus which makes the weekends and evenings lonely.

What students say about surgery

It’s a great uni for social life. The finance team I found was a bit tight. On my campus, there is no microwave or kettle or canteen, just a vending machine. Sometimes, I find the course confusing with the lack of guidance.

What students say about surgery

The staff as well as the students create a great environment that is supportive, safe and nurturing. The subjects taught are very relevant to the modern world. I appreciate that there’s class only 2 times a week, it frees us to do a lot of other activities. The location of the university is great for both bus and train travel. However I feel a sense of paranoia as I feel like I’m having more fun and free time than I should. It would be great if I could have more work to do during the week that’s related to academics. Just from comparing the schedules with other universities like Surrey Business School, where they have block classes for 2 weeks and then a short break for them to do assessments. They had assessments due in the 3rd week itself whereas it was after 2 months for us. Another thing I wanted to address was the points system in the refectory, 10 points is simply not enough for 3 full meals a day. I would suggest a change in the value of points or maybe have 14-15 points a day and maybe more during the weekends.

Studying surgery

The most usual career path to pursue with a surgery degree is that of a surgeon. All surgeons must first qualify as doctors, so students will have a basic medical degree which includes the principles of medicine and surgery. Training encompasses several years of study which includes surgical skills practise, advanced physiology and pharmacology, assessment and methods of patients care, and professional behaviour and leadership skills. Surgeons have a critical role in healthcare, performing both lifesaving operations and elective procedures to enhance patients' quality of life, and it’s typical that a student specialises in a particular field of surgical practise in the course of becoming qualified.
