I hope you're prepared for an ASTONISHING amount of hard work over the next few years... my sister-in-law was a consultant anaesthetist and had to study 110% for far too many years, and now her daughter is studying medicine - God knows how many years, after already qualifying as a nurse!

It's probably one of the toughest university courses you can do...

...but apart from that - WELL DONE!

Nice one Craig - now get your head down and finish that car before the real work begins

Well done... just one thing though: wouldn't it be an MD rather than a BSc?


Confused but excited. - 5/2/10 at 10:36 PM

Well done that man.


cd.thomson - 5/2/10 at 10:45 PM

Thanks everyone! This will be my second degree hence the bsc! Out gettng jolly now


Ninehigh - 5/2/10 at 11:57 PM

Second degree you lucky git, I've barely got A-levels!

So you're going to be a MDBSc? You should keep going until the letters after your name are longer than your name


spaximus - 6/2/10 at 08:31 AM

Well done, but as others have said be prepared for a huge amount of work. My daugther did a Bio Medical dgree and is now on her first year at medical school at Warwick. The differance in the amount of studying is huge and it never lets up. She loves it but the commitment to the length of training is emmense. Good luck for the future


mads - 6/2/10 at 09:23 AM

congrats! as everyone said, it is a tough degree. a friend of mine is doing his first and he has just bailed on a stag do cos of his workload


iank - 6/2/10 at 09:40 AM

Sister in law and her husband are both doctors (Nottingham)
Brother in law is currently doing his training in Manchester.

Good luck it's a lot of work.

again thanks for all the kind words (and the streak of realism in most of them).

I believe it would be MBBS BSc after my name although surprisingly I'm not after the letters specifically.

Ninehigh, I actually flunked my a-levels... but that was a different time and a different me..

I promise not to let the locosters down
