may i remind people that SGUL is the only university within UoL with an accredited IBMS biomedical sciences degree, hence you can work as an MLSO afterwards, a degree from an unaccredited institution means you need to do a top up course after you've got your degree. many people look at the sgul biomed degree as a very good one as biomeds actually KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING in a lab afterwards, as compared to other so called biomed courses.

oh and
"u've not even startted to mention some of the ploys some your biomeds ave got up to in the past to claim that coveted transfer place, like not anding out past paper model answers to anyone else but there friends, 'iding books in the library when they are most needed and not preventing peers 'anding in their coursework by any emans necessary."

where the hell did you get that from? 5/6 years ago? i've NEVER heard of anyone doing things like that, biomeds are more than willing to help each other out and support each other, there is no cut-throat competition and this is coming from someone who is consistently in the top 5 of their year academically.

stop rubbishing the course here. the biomed course is good, it produces good scientists for those who want to be scientists, not medics. obviously most of the entrants want the transfer but not all of them. you're basically telling them they're wasting their time when actually, they probably have an advantage. of course anyone who's just missed the grades should reapply work hard before applying for biomed but if that fails, the transfer is an option. for some they have no choice; less-than-stellar gcses means that whatever grades they get at A-level few medical schools will consider them, considering the ridiculous amount of competition. i agree with JH, lay off. sgul is a great institution, whether you'll admit to it or not.

Hahaha loving this thread. Gizmo's bang on with the moody antics of some of the students, note stealing, book hiding and the like, its like a constant academic panic sometimes. Hmmmm hardly well balanced, but there are some good ones. occasionally ;-) All this academic talk?! you're either good enough to get the grades and then arsed to work for them or not, in your A's or degree/transfer hopes. But there's no point of getting them if you cant get through the interview so concentrate on getting some life experience, work experience and character.
Biomed at georges was ok, was a means to an end for me being a lazy 18 year old arrogant wanna be neurosurgeon twat who didnt make his offers. Sometimes I wish I'd grown up a bit back then, taken my head out of my ass, been less feared up of failure and thought about debt. Ach, it happens the way it happens though.
