Hi everyone,
I have a friend who is having trouble deciding between attending the MD Program at JCU and University of Adelaide. Can anyone or current students at the programs offer any perspective on the programs (i.e. which course has fairer grading and has instructors who support students) and pros and cons for choosing one program over the other?
Thank you!
Both are 6 year degrees, and I’m assuming your mate is an international student so will be moving regardless, so location isn’t too much of an issue?
Historically, Adelaide has had some issues with high failure rates over the course of the degree, but it’s understood they’ve sorted this out.
Accommodation may be cheaper for JCU, if that’s an issue? Though would be worth looking into both.
JCU has an emphasis on tropical medicine, whereas that would be less of a focus in Adelaide.
We don’t have any JCU regulars at the moment (unless
Benjamin pops by). @dr potato is a current UAdel student who may have thoughts.
