Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery - Batch of 2029

4.3

Great opportunities to explore.

Tips: Transitioning from high school to university was a big jump for me as I was the first in my family to ever make it to university. However, the transition was well supported for me because of the scholarship I received. Along with financial assistance, the scholarship also provided me with a personal mentor who supported me really well. I applied for the scholarship while I was still in year 12 in high school. The scholarship was for students who are the first in their families to go to university and were experiencing financial hardship. It was a long procedure that involved basic details collection, a letter describing why you deserve the scholarship, a mini interview, a formal online interview, and finally a selection process. I have lived most of my life in Wellington, NZ, so moving to Dunedin to study wasn't that big of a cultural shock. The only thing that did shock me however was the drinking culture at the University of Otago. On Friday and Saturday nights, it gets crazy. Personally, I am not a big fan of that, so I would recommend sitting out of it. I am quite satisfied with studying the Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MB ChB) at UoO. One of the coolest things about the course is that our university provides real cadavers to study with in the direction labs, which is not provided in all medical universities in the world.

Likes (Post study jobs): I am not entirely sure, but I am aware that there is a huge work opportunity for highly skilled international or immigrant students who use their resources properly. I would suggest that students do their own research on this, relating to their course and the types of fields they wish to go into.

Dislikes (Part time work): Part time job really depends on the individual person and the course they are doing. Personally, for me, managing a part time job and studying medicine is quite hard as I am already involved in many other extracurricular activities. However, I have considered tutoring students online as a part time job, which I think is more manageable as I get to choose my own hours. There are also students in medicine who work part time, and they have good management of their time.
