Anglia Ruskin Medicine Interview Questions (2025 Entry)

About Anglia Ruskin Medical School (2025 Edition)

Anglia Ruskin provides a dynamic course that focuses on training doctors of the future to be all-rounded clinicians. The course takes an early clinical focus with patient contact from the first term. The academic content is structured around disease blocks (CVS, GI) which cover medicine holistically and comprehensively. As a new and small medical school, you build valuable relationships with your peers and the staff, who are very responsive to feedback.

Work-life balance at medical school can be tough. At ARU the structure is really consistent so you know you will always only have lectures in the morning, and something practical in the evening - this definitely helps balance and plan the weeks at medical school. Most first year students live in the Student Village - a great place to make new friends! It's also ideally located so you're only ever a few minutes away from your lectures, libraries, clubs and the Student Union.The campus is small which means you'll always bump into someone you know and makes it convenient to get to society actives ranging from all different sports to med-soc and medical speciality societies (Dermatology, Surgical society, Psych&Neuro).

Most first year students live in the Student Village - a great place to make new friends! Chelmsford is not the busiest city, however London is only a short 30 minute train away. It's also ideally located so you're only ever a few minutes away from your lectures, libraries, clubs and the Student Union. However, being a small university means you will meet and get to know a lot of people and build strong friendships with them. On a university level, the SU and societies always have things going on to get involved with including both drinking and non-drinking events (including medicine specific ones).

The MedSoc is probably the largest society on campus despite being very new. You can always rely on the MedSoc to pull through with events that get the whole student body together. Not only do they try and put on monthly themed nights out, they have a wide range of activites for non-drinkers and a range of academic and education events too. The MedSoc also work really closely with the speciality-societies to make every event as good as possible! They have a huge range of events planned throughout the year to try and help alongside your academic degree including socials, academic talks and sports. Central to ARMS is the ethos of inclusivity and diversity encouraging all medics, and non-medics to join regardless of race and gender.
