Cardiovascular Medicine and Sciences PhD/MDRes

King's College London, University of London

Best - The student support and facilities are great especially in the Medicine course. We have connections with older years, staff and resources that many other schools don’t such as real cadavers for dissection. Worst - Maybe our exam period as there were disruptions and internet issues causing many of us to not do the best that we could. the system and software are quite old fashioned.

Amazing location, friendly supportive peers, great work spaces! Improvements include organisation with the learning platforms and faster replies with emails

King's location and student life make it a great place to study. You are in the heart of central London so there are many off campus activities to enjoy. On campus is also great because of the student union creating a welcoming environment. The biggest issue I have with the university is the lack of library study spaces. Each campus has about one library which simply cannot accommodate all the students at King's. I'd like to see more study spaces.

Best aspects: social life, work life balance, exam schedule, teaching, placement opportunities. Improvements: more communication from admin team when dealing with exam timetables / results etc.

The student union have been excellent in helping me settle in to my first year at uni, providing advice on money budgeting, coping with stress and providing countless events to get to know the rest of my cohort.
