The University of Sydney

The University of Sydney is a great place to learn. My experience as a first-year student in the Doctor of Dental Medicine course has been very positive. Teachers are very friendly and seem to love what they do. It makes the learning experience all the better.

The program allows us to get lots of clinical exposure starting early on and the blocks are structured in a week to week structure that is consistent. There are program specific clubs to get involved in and lots of events to network and meet new people in upper years as well as working professionals. The program is structured so that there are no barrier exams and we get to be in a clinical setting starting from year 1. Beautiful campus. Lots of clubs and events to get involved in. Not a lot of food options and everything on campus is pricey.

The school is well-equipped, but the campus is very large, and the cohort is big. Most instructors are excellent, passionate and knowledgeable about their subjects. Problems arise in trying to organize the timetable for the entire cohort and satisfy every student.

The University of Sydney has been amazing. I love the teaching, the small clinical school sizes, the independent learning, the campus, the city and the opportunities.

The Sydney medical program is modern. Education structure enables you to work at your own pace and take care of yourself with extracurricular activities. Exposure to patients and in first year gives you more time to get used to actually interacting with patients, and you learn more about how medical care in a hospital works. USyd campus is most beautiful campus. Sydney weather is amazing. Dislike: Expensive.

Big campus, great city, awesome people, small class sizes, professors are all well-known clinicians, and lots of activities and clubs, but not much support for international students.

I love my university. I always wanted to be doctor and this program is perfect for me.

University of Sydney is an amazing University with everything a student can ask for. The only issue that I have is that it can be hard to find spaces to study since there is a huge student population. I am definitely enjoying the program at USYD. This is because there are amazing lectures both at the main campus and the teaching hospitals. The only issue is that the program is being changed to an online based one with MD2020 so not everyone is on board with online teaching.

Great weather in Sydney, well renowned institution, and great emphasis on research projects…. The early clinical exposure is really good and allows us to apply our theoretical learning into real clinical and practical applications.

I like USYD. It is a great program with a long history of success. I am enjoying it. I feel like I’m learning a lot and feel that the clinical introduction from an early date has been beneficial to our learning.  Take advantage of all the events that happen to make friends and get the most out of the program.

I do like my university. It is a world-class university in a wonderful city. I love how supportive the students are to each other. The Usyd Med program has such a family-like culture where everyone wants you to do well.

Right into the hospital ASAP. I get a lot of clinical experience. Additionally, there are many different learning activities so I rarely get tired of any. For example, the pathology labs, the team-based learning classes, clinical days, anatomy labs, lectures, and seminars.

Pros: large university with a very active campus so there is always something going on within the med program and beyond. World class lecturers teaching challenging material is very cool and rewarding. The anatomy labs and cadavers are an amazing tool to study anatomy and the staff is incredible. Cons: Organization of the lecture material sometimes seems thrown together without much thought so flow throughout a block of study can be a bit scattered.

I like how hands on and practical it is from the first weeks of the program and the variety of learning environments offered through the program. The campus is quite large and busy, and there aren’t any devoted spaces for medical students to study or congregate on the main campus outside of lectures. There is a graduate library, but it is small and fills with people in other programs near the ends of their semesters.

The Sydney medical program can be a bit disorganized, but it is very hands on and you are expected to learn things quite fast. Definitely a challenging course but worthwhile.

The University of Sydney is a well-renowened university and the campus is very nice and walkable. The students are well-supported by staff. We have a close relationship with some of the staff, especially at our clinical schools. Despite being away from home, I always feel like someone is looking out for me.

The University is huge, well established and with some very supportive and experienced faculty. Some aspects of the program are disorganised. Time tables change often depending on the block of study and this ends up keeping us on our toes regarding how to study each block. This is especially true when lectures get switched around in an order where more complex topics end up being covered before the intro lectures. The clinical days are extremely useful learning opportunities. One has the opportunity to learn a great deal from the doctors at the clinical school especially if one is able to spend some extra-curricular time there.
