Medicine
Success in medicine requires application and hard work, both while studying and when in practice. However, it brings great rewards in terms of job satisfaction, involving, as it does, a combination of science with human interactions and numerous career opportunities.
In choosing to study medicine you are embarking on a course that will prepare you to enter the medical profession with a strong foundation in clinical medicine, and the biomedical and social science that underpins it.
