Write for our Welcome Series!
Submissions are now open for our new Welcome Series, ‘New Year New Me’!
The series is all about welcoming new students to the Barts and The London with articles about student life and topics that might interest them. We’re also aiming to catch up existing students on issues that have taken place during the break or indeed get them interested in any new topics.
The deadline for any submissions is the 31st of August 2020. If you have any questions, let us know!

Unless you’re a real parliament nerd like me, who revels in the delights of subtle and firm put downs in the Queen’s English and the heated and often rancorous atmosphere that lines the walls of the Commons, you’ll probably be wondering what the hell has been going on?

The ability to make a decent bolognese is an absolute lifesaver as a student, and is an affordable and delicious way to trick your body into eating vegetables. We’ve found that cooking a bowl of this for someone can more than make up made up for our many glaring character flaws when it comes to making friends at university.
Freshman 15 is a common American term used to describe a fresher student who is likely to gain 15 lbs (5 kg) within their first-year at university.

Whether by prosections or dissections, the teaching method can be a key factor in deciding where to study. So what exactly can you expect from the anatomy teaching at BL and how do you get the most out of it?
