Currently, I'm focused on surviving my fourth year of medicine. Outside of that, I'm really interested in nature and like going on long walks when I can! I've also explored the local area and visited lots of interesting places.

Graduate Entry Medicine Programme
I’m a first-year Graduate Entry Medicine (GEM) student at King’s College London, based at the Portsmouth campus. My academic background is in Biomedical Science (BSc, University of Hull) and Women and Children’s Health (MSc, King’s College London). I’m passionate about maternal and reproductive health, clinical research, and tackling healthcare inequalities. Before starting medicine, I gained experience in paediatric healthcare and Women's health research, which deepened my commitment to becoming a compassionate and evidence-driven doctor. I’d love to share insights about the GEM course, transitioning from a bioscience degree, and life as a KCL Portsmouth student.

I am currently a first year Graduate Entry Medicine (GEM) student at Swansea University, where I also completed my undergraduate degree in Medical Biochemistry. I originally wanted to study medicine before starting my biochemistry degree, and that interest continued to grow during my undergraduate studies.
At the moment, I am still keeping an open mind about which specialty I would like to pursue. So far, I have particularly enjoyed paediatrics, A&E, neuro, and surgery! I am looking forward to experiencing a wider range of specialties during medical school to better understand where I might fit best.
Outside of medicine, I enjoy being apart of Medics hockey and travelling- with my favourite country being Australia!

I am a third year medical student at Swansea University, I love to be in the sea or running the coast path when I have free time - Swansea has so many lovely beaches to explore.

I am a current 1st year Graduate Entry Medical Student at Swansea University, however I have been in Swansea for nearly four years now as I did my undergraduate degree of Applied Medical Science here! I came to Swansea initially through clearing and loved it right from the start, so much so that I have chosen to stay another four years! I would be happy to answer questions on my journey to medicine, as well as student life in Swansea and how the course runs. I'm looking forward to hearing from you:)

Hi! My name is Niamh and I am a former Applied Medical Science student currently studying medicine at Swansea University.

Hi, I'm Pash! I previously studied Applied Medical Sciences for my undergrad at Swansea, and now I'm a 4th-year medical student. Having lived in Swansea for the last six years now, this is my second home. So ask me anything you'd like about life as a Swansea student! 😊

Medicine (Graduate/Professional Entry)
Hi I'm Sam, a final year postgrad medic, which is the equivalent to the undergraduate medicine's 5th year. In our first year we completed a 4 week cram course over summer before joining directly into 2nd year undergraduate medicine, which is how our graduate course is structured. This means I have all of the application process to medicine fresh in my head and am happy to answer any questions about this, the course structure, or anything else you can think of. I studied Biomedical Sciences at the University of Sheffield before this!
