Student Profiles – Harshvir, Medicine
Harshvir is a fifth-year clinical Medicine student from London. At A Level, he studied Biology, Chemistry, and Maths.
Why did you choose Trinity Hall?
It is a small, close-knit community in a central location – the two criteria that were most important to me.
How did you prepare for the application process and interviews? Was it what you expected?
Doing practice questions – the interviews were what I expected!
Why did you choose your course?
It provides a good combination of science and clinical work. There’s a lot of theory but clinical school is a lot more practical with its approach; my favourite part is the patient interaction while on placement.
How are you taught?
On weekdays, I have my clinical placement 9am-4pm, 1 hour a week of supervision, and 8 hours per week of independent work. I manage all this work by using a timetable, so I have time to do things I enjoy like hanging out with friends – and May balls in the Easter term!
If you still have questions about studying at Trinity Hall, please go to the Access and Outreach page, to see the current support schemes we are offering prospective applicants and to contact the Access and Recruitment Officer.
