The Review
It's fully online which is okay but it takes time to reach the lecturer in case I need clarification on a topic.
My view
I like the way it provide space for international students
Support with change in scheduling.
Brighton and Sussex Medical school truly excel in the wide variety of experiences that they provide. However, sometimes students find that things that have been organised from them have changed, or are no longer available. When they then try to contact the medical school about it, the support available is inadequate. Never the less, they are still expected to reschedule themselves, in order to complete the task/experience.
