Tips and Advice from Past Students

Physics for Biomedicine

"Technically an introductory subject to biomedical physics. Physics for Biomed is quite similar to Foundations of Physics however incorporates other elements more relevant to biomedicine with GAMSAT-style questions to connect the content with medical applications.
 
Despite being an introductory subject, the content is extremely fast-paced so it's important to keep up with practice questions and to make use of problem-solving classes with your tutor.
 
In-person attendance at these lectures is invaluable as you get to properly experience the demonstrations that are difficult to capture through online recordings."
