    Hi
    I'm a first year Pod student in the UK (Huddersfield). A few months in and i'm loving (most of) it!
    Are there anyother first year Pods on here?
    Thought it may be good to get a thread going,to see how other students are getting on at other places of study (Uk or other).
     
  2. Tell you what I'd do Phil. I'd send a polite message to craig (admin) asking him if he would very sweetly create a section of the forum just for undergraduates.

    yeah im a first year at durham and a bit swamped at the mo, but thankfully iv done most of the physiology before which makes things a bit easier.

    however anatomy is making me sad as the pelvis is a bit terrifying :p

    would be nice if we had a bit to discuss student matters

    we've got 4 essays, one presentation, one lab report, a work book a portfolio and two bio chem tests to do by January !! Ive done two of the essays so far, the rest of my time is spent revising for tests and keeping up with the lecturers !!!! When do you go out on your first placement ?

    Hi all,

    Just finished 1st year myself at QUT in Brisbane, Qld, Australia....degrees out here primarily are 4 yr courses, so another 3 to go! Actually looked into transferring to the UK to finish my degree (3 yrs instead - English schools) but I don't qualify for the 'home' student status so hefty international fees I would be up for....OUCH (Birmingham or salford was my first thought as my wife's family are from Nottingham)
    I do like the thought of graduating a year earlier though.....any thoughts as to the difference in study duration for Bachelors?
    We have 1 degree out here at University of Newcastle which is 3 yrs? Some say something has got to give to complete the course in 3 yrs....BUT there is a lot of general Science that I have covered which could have been made more specific for Pod IMO.
    Just wanting to throw that out there...
    Look forward to any replies,
    Cheers and all the best,

    BJ
