Hey, so I actually already have a video like that up about the first year modules on my channel, but I will definitely do another video about second year when I've revised for them a bit more hehe :) x
Thank you for the video Magda :) again, I must confess: as a viewer who has completed their BA and MA in a different field (Philosophy), I cannot immediately relate to the contents of the video sadly! But what I can say is the way you present the content is super clear and helpful even to someone outside the field and you’re very natural and lovely in your style! So thank you for another fun band informative video!
I do have a question actually though! You’ve spoken previously about your desire to live in another country and work there. Do you think you’d want to do that immediately after Cambridge or do you want to do foundation years first?
thank you for explaining! What experience have you gathered before uni in order to apply for the cambridge med course? and what exactly are mocks🙈? And with these 6 years, is there kind of additional training after that (further specialisation) or which options do you have after uni?
No worries! I have a series of videos on my channel about work experience and extracurriculars to do/which I did :) mocks are mock exams, so just practice exams which are done for your supervisors so they dont actually count for anything! After the 6 years you go into the foundation programme, which is training as a junior doctor, theres definitely still a long way to go after the degree but it's the same with any other med school (same foundation programme) :)
It definitely depends from person to person as I know others have very different opinions haha, but personally - sechi and isbm kinda dont count cause they're smaller, so out of the other ones I'd say physiology for me was the hardest and biochemistry was the easiest (when it came to exams though anatomy was by far the worst 😂 but that probably differs year on year)! And thanks for watching the video, I'm really glad you found it helpful!
@@MagdaWeronika Thanks for the reply Magda, I was also wondering what you would especially recommend looking over before starting the course aside from A level content to maybe help with the step up?
Thank you. Does pharmacology in second year involve laboratory work? Can you choose pharmacology at third year? Do you get bachelor degress after third year (based on which subject you choose)?
Hi, yes 2nd year pharmacology has practical lab work! And yep you can choose to do pharm in 3rd year, no matter what subject you do you'll get a BA after 3rd year (unless you choose a masters but then that's an extra year on top of that)!!
No worries!! That's quite a broad question haha, I think I'm going to do a video about it soon! And yeah, content-wise it is definitely a lot, but its med school so it's kind of expected hehe :)
@@MagdaWeronika What's the point of taking a non-medical subject in 3rd year? Isn't it a distraction for you guys? Is it same for all medical colleges in UK like King's College, Warwick?
Nope not all medical schools in the UK do it but a few do. It depends what you want to do - it's actually a good way to get some research experience if you potentially want to do research in the future as well. Also not everyone does non-medicine related subjects, a lot of the natural science courses are just furthering what we've done in the first 2 years. Some people do non-medical courses like management etc as it opens the door to a broader range of opportunities and possibilities for you in the future! But it's definitely not for everyone :)
I would love if you could do a video where u elaborate on each of the modules in first and second year! ❤️❤️❤️
Ahh I might do! What sorts of things would you want to know?
Magda Weronika just a little touch up on each of the modules, websites you’ve used, books you advice for med school etc. Thanks so much

Great video! I think the degree is called MB BChir (for Cambridge) or something like that.
Ahh yeah close enough hehe, I swear it was ChB when I was applying 😂 thanks for watching :)
Great video, Magda. Thank you. 🙂👍
This is soo incredibly useful thank youu soo much

@@MagdaWeronika thank you for the explanation:)!
Amazing video as always and informative too. Love your videos ❤️❤️
Could you also please do a video on your experience at clare college?
Yep it's coming!! :)
How did you find the relative difficulty of each first year module? Thanks for the video it was really helpful!

What was your gcses grades
Great video! Did predicted grades matter when applying to Cambridge?
Thank you! And yeah they most likely do look at them, they consider your application holistically :)
Magda Weronika do you know whether we need to of been getting A* A*A constantly throughout the year to even be considered ?
You know for year 3 intercalation is there plastic surgery intercalation option?
Hello
I was wondering what is the name of the curriculum of the medical course by Cambridge.
Or if there is a link I can download the materials
are the essays timed?
Will have the choice of studying abroad?
Thank you. Does pharmacology in second year involve laboratory work? Can you choose pharmacology at third year? Do you get bachelor degress after third year (based on which subject you choose)?

What’s the deal with the whole thing we’re your BA gets upgraded to an MA ( 5 years after leaving uni I think??)
Ooo I have absolutely no idea haha oops 😂 maybe if you do additional years later? Idk
how do you study? is it a lot of content? thanks for the video
No worries!! That's quite a broad question haha, I think I'm going to do a video about it soon! And yeah, content-wise it is definitely a lot, but its med school so it's kind of expected hehe :)
did you record an open day for clare college?
What college do you go to?
Clare! :)
Is it MBBS? I'm bit of confused
MBChB it’s a medicine qualification basically medicine courses can be MBChB or MBBS and some people just have MB
I think MBChB and MBBS are equivalent they're both bachelor of medicine and bachelor of surgery (I think ChB is just latinised) :)
Magda Weronika that’s exactly my point they just signify you have a bachelor of medicine and surgery. Ones just fancy
