I always wanted to study in Birmingham for my MSc and this video helped me a lot!❤️ Been watching your videos for a long time such great content😍 love you😘💕
Thank you so so much, hope it helped! Lots of love 💕 xx
thank you so much for this!! i’m in year 12 & am considering UoB (not for medicine though) and the last bit definitely helped 💘
So glad, I put the time stamps in so you could skip to the bits that would help you! 💕
From a first year student at UoB, there is genuinely no Uni I’d rather be at. The staff are brilliant, the Guild is amazing and the social life simply can’t be topped
I just firmed Birmingham, and thank you so much for the time stamps you're a lifesaver! I was swayed by the campus too, i visited before covid and i fell in love with the greenery in the centre 🥰 my subject building is right next to it too
And thank you for being honest about safety, after all I heard I was so worried (I'm like that anyway, I hate walking around on my own and I'm not staying in accommodation so I'll have to travel every day) but I feel a bit better about it now
Its such a beautiful campus! I'm so so excited for you, hopefully I will see you around campus next year ❤️ so happy this was helpful too, honestly on campus you are so safe and you will be fine!
PLEASE TELL ME YOU GOT IN!!! im a year 11 with predicted 7s and i need to know what i should do i want to be an neurosurgeon
soo helpful! I’m applying for medicine this year and Birmingham is one of my choices so would love a video on accommodation! 🤍
So glad!! I’m going to try to do one sooner but I think it will have to be after my next exams but there will be one soon!! 💛
Birmingham was my second choice previously, but now thats the only offer i got for medicine so this is very helpful!
I love Birmingham medical school, let me know if you have any questions its so exciting you got an offer you've done so well!
Thanks for this! Was very insightful, I’m hoping to come to UOB in Sept💘x
So happy it was helpful, really hope you do🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 xx
Hey, Great and helpful video! I'm thinking about applying to UoB, but the thing that most worries me really is the safety. I did see what you said about the safety, but I wanted to ask if it is something that makes you worried to like go out somewhere by yourself?
Also is there a way to know the more safer areas to live for the second-last year?
Thanks x
This video has come at a great time, haha today I came to visit the university and city finally before I hopefully go to UOB in September
how exciting that you actually went!! what did you think of it?
@@annarebecca The campus is even more beautiful in person 😍. I like that Birmingham seems to have a lot that you could do there once things open up. That was great for me to see, as I'm from London so I wouldn't want to move to a place that did not have a lot to occupy me with haha. I was also happy to see all of the buses. Now I just need to figure out where is a good area to live as a postgraduate student because I have heard things about Selly Oak.
This was really helpful, thank you! xx
I’m so so glad Cary thank you for watching 🥰 xx
This might sound rlly weird but your voice is so calming hahah 🤣
Love ur videos! Keep up the amazing content 💗💗
Aw thank you so much 💕
I'm trying to decide between firming birmingham or newcastle for medicine so this video is super helpful thank you so much!
So glad hope it helped you come to a decision!
Thank you this video was genuinely so helpful ✨
I’m so so happy to hear that it really means a lot 🥰
An accommodation video would be great!
I’m going to try to do one sooner but I think it will have to be after my next exams but there will be one soon!!
Thanks this video was helpful
Could you please make video on accommodation?
Thank you so much I love your videos. I wanted to know if you have a book you can refer to alongside your lectures just like we did in alevels. Thank you💕
So happy you enjoyed it!! As for textbooks, every module suggests like 2 huge books, so I guess yess but there like double the size of a whole subject a level text book which I just find abit unmanageable and don’t tend to use. The only one I really use is greys anatomy text book for students. Hope this helps xxx
@@annarebecca Thank you💕
Loved this video so much!! Would you be able to tell me about PBL? Like how it works, how often you do it and if you find it effective? I have an offer for med but I don’t know if PBL will work well for me xx
Hey!! So PBL you have a case patient and as a group work out the diagnosis and questions based around the case. You also have very early clinical placements and both Manchester and Cardiff I know are very problem based. I hope this helps!!! Let me know if you have any more questions xx
Love this video! What lashes are you wearing- they are stunning!
Thanks so much Kiran ❤️ there actually just ardell Demi wispies but I chop them in half and only use them in the outer corner!
Brilliant video as per Anna, not sure if you're living out in 2nd year but would be cool to see the process of choosing a house with different prices etc, just an idea 😂
Thank you so much! ☺️ I am living out in 2nd year, I definitely like this idea I’ve already chosen my house but I could definitely make a video explaining the whole process!
do you reckon they will take 2 A* and a C since it totals to 144 UCAS points which is equivalent to AAA?
Please do a video on accommodation!!
I’m going to try to do one sooner but I think it will have to be after my next exams but there will be one soon!! 💛
I currently have an offer from Birmingham and will definitely be firming it but I was just wondering do you feel like the medical school is too big, because the year group is like 400. Do you feel as though this is a disadvantage by being in such a big year group because you would get less attention from tutors and lecturers?
No I actually don't, I was a little worried about this but I actually think all the lectures still make a huge effort to get to know you and think about every student. It's actually really nice to have so many people in your year and it just means MEDSOC is bigger with so many more medics to get to know! I'm so excited you have firmed so hopefully I will see you next year 💕
Really nice video, what do you think of the sports facilities of Birmingham? I'm looking to study engineering at UoB, and I'm really into my sports
Personally I think the sports of UoB is amazing the sports and fitness centre is brand new and huge! It was definitely the best uni sports centre I saw, there is also such a huge range of clubs that compete at a very high level so I think you would love it.
please let me know about msc nursing by research(1 year) course in uni of burmingham, should i choose this course?? and how many days i have to attend classes in a week acc to you.
plz reply 🙏

I go to the university of Birmingham secondary school down the road from the uni
I actually had no idea they had a secondary school, that’s so cool!
hey, i don’t know if u remember but last video i commented that i want to go to medical school but i’m only in year 9 and obviously i’m trying to get good grades in science do u have any tips to revise or how to revise? love u ❤️
Hey Marina, I do remember 🥰 these are my biggest tips for 6th form in this playlist th-cam.com/play/PL4d5k1VfsM0Bo03lJSFBA7WIdQ14srzli.html which would probably be really helpful for you now as well. I will defiantly make a whole video in the summer on tips for GCSE'S which would be really helpful for you I hope xxx
@@annarebecca yes thank you so much this is really going to help me so much! and he’s i would love to see the video in summer i can’t wait for it!! xx these videos are really going to help me thank you so much
I am hoping to go here next year for med!!!! Do you have any tips for a future applicant?
Hey!! so I actually have a playlists with all my videos on medicine applications which should really help.❤️ I would say try to make sure your UCAT is strong and practice over the summer. Then interviews honestly just have confidence, prepare and smile!! But these have all my tips in th-cam.com/play/PL4d5k1VfsM0ABZ2ECY1kA26bDTy4riEZg.html
Do you need a Bachelor degree to enter medical school ? Because I want to be a psychiatrist
Is doing an architecturec course good here ??
Birmingham has always been my first choice 😄😄
YES!!! Hopefully see you there 💕
Ok so birmingham nightlife is not about nandoes and the city centre
That might be cause your from birmingham
The nightlife is all about the goose soak and circo ( pubs in selly )
Broad street is popular for first year students and you got nightlife in digbeth so lab11 and tektu etc
The Selly oak safety thing is a myth. Lots of people at uni are scared of Selly . This is because many students are women and from very nice areas. In reality Selly is a completely normal area with little trouble
Medic students are known at the uni as work hard play hard. I remember first years used to turn up drunk to the meal plans in infusion
Thought now cause of covid things have changed a lot
Thanks I’m sure this will be really helpful, obviously my experience has been very different because half the places have been closed and covid so thanks for the tips for everyone.
Hey would you recommend getting the uni gym membership? x
I personally love the uni gym, there amazing facilities. The only downside is it is busy and also on the pricy side x
@@annarebecca Do a lot of people get the uni gym memberships or go to the local gyms? xx
Thank youuuu
Hope you found it helpful! ❤️
@@annarebecca honestly amazing it really helps. Thank you :)
So glad ☺️
What are the international scholarship available for deserving candidates from India in computer science programme?
I’m really sorry I’m not the best person to contact about this, I would make sure you email the admissions for computer science to get an answer, good luck with your application 🤞🏼
Yayyyyy
THANK YOU!!!
Thanks hooville citizen
What GCSE's did you do?
All 3 separate sciences, maths, english, geography and art
I love your fucking accent!
Thank you!!!
UoB :)
YES 🥳
@@annarebecca kiss 😘
Beware the accommodation office
Beware the lock in contracts
Beware paying through the nose for nothing
Thank you for your advice
