Newcastle Specific Notes
Why do you want to study at Newcastle/describe your suitability towards the
MBBS program:
Course itself and why it suits you: Newcastle adopts a case based learning
approach, where with each case, you are learning how to deal with an array
of different things, for example, anatomy, physiology, clinical skills and
communication. I love the way that it is taught because the way that I like to
learn is by applying my knowledge to real life situations, and I find that is
personally helps to consolidate my knowledge well. During my A Levels, I found
that I consolidated my knowledge the best through doing practical's, as I was
able to apply my knowledge to the task, which is similar. Also, I like the fact that
we learn different things with one case, that way, we are able to learn how to
treat a patient holistically. As doctors, we should treat the patient as a whole
and not just one specific illness. Like how our learning has context behind it,
which makes it a lot more interesting and engaging. Mention how you already
have experience dealing with patients, through working as a HCA and having
almost daily patient contact, so I feel like I am well prepared for doing this.
Understand that this requires a level of independence compared to always just
having lectures, so it would definitely take time to get into it, however I feel like
going through the gap years, and having that independence and the chance to
develop maturity would assist me.

, Also like how the course is integrated with early clinical exposure in year 1
and 2 (in a GP practice). This suits me great, as I mentioned before, the best
way I learn is through practical, real life situations, which from the early clinical
placements as well as the style of learning, Newcastle clearly offer this a lot.
Also, 8 week elective at the end of Year 4, which gives you a great opportunity
to gain experience in a different health care system. This firstly allows you to
have hands on experience, but also, by working in a different healthcare
system, it allows you to appreciate the NHS even more. Plus, its a fun
experience to have, medicine aside.
Placements include places like Royal Victoria Infirmary, Queen Elizabeth’s
Hospital, Freemans Hospital, which are all in Newcastle, as well as places like
the James Cook Hospital in Middlesbrough, which specialize in things like
Diabetes, which is close to my heart, as members in my family suffer from
diabetes and it would be amazing to work in an environment where I could
develop my knowledge in the field of diabetes.
Newcastle University itself:
Newcastle MedSoc- Newcastle having its own med society is something
special because it allows for you to meet like minded people with the same
goals and aspirations as you in life. I have had a look at their Instagram
page, and it looks really good. Extra support system in place
Newcastle Pak society- as a Pakistani I am proud of my culture and being
able to go to a society like this will make me feel more at home and would
help with things like home sickness. When asked, are there any negatives
to going to this particular university, talk about how its far from home, but
societies will help.
Also the Newcastle Uni Students Union has a Thai Boxing club, personal
hobby that I have been doing through out my gap year, helps with fitness,
as well as skills like persistence and discipline, required in medicine
Extensive student services provided by Newcastle such as the Students
Union as well as the Medical Student office, which help signpost to
different services. Also, the student wellbeing service and access to the
student wellbeing advisor, Heather.
The Medical School is extremely close to the Royal Victoria Infirmary, which
again is extremely convenient, as you don’t have to travel too far to get to
