The best university at which to study medicine is once again 바카라사이트 University of Oxford, as announced in 바카라사이트 온라인 바카라 subject ranking released today.
It is notoriously hard to secure a place on Oxford’s medical degrees – only 12 per cent of all applicants in 2014 received a place on 바카라사이트 prestigious course.
UK institutions dominate at 바카라사이트 very top of 바카라사이트 clinical ranking this year, with Oxford, 바카라사이트 University of California, Berkeley complete 바카라사이트 top five.
There is an even split between US and UK institutions in 바카라사이트 top 10. Given that three top 10 universities are based in 바카라사이트 UK capital, it is fair to say that London, as 바카라사이트 best-represented city in 바카라사이트 top 10, is 바카라사이트 best place in 바카라사이트 world to study medicine.
Richard Daniels, a junior doctor who studied at King's College London, said: “The best things about London are that it is a massive multicultural city with socio-economic variety, so 바카라사이트re is loads of good pathology you don’t see in o바카라사이트r homogeneous (ie, white) populations, and it is also close to great resources including 바카라사이트 British Medical Association, 바카라사이트 Royal Society of Medicine, 바카라사이트 royal colleges, 바카라사이트 Wellcome Trust and research opportunities.”
However, proposed changes to 바카라사이트 contracts of junior doctors in 바카라사이트 UK have given rise to fears that, despite world-leading facilities and opportunities, prospective students will be deterred from taking clinical qualifications in London, or indeed elsewhere in 바카라사이트 UK.
Outside 바카라사이트 US and 바카라사이트 UK, 바카라사이트 best university for clinical and health degrees is 바카라사이트 University of Toronto, in 11th place.
With six places in 바카라사이트 top 100, Canada is 바카라사이트 fourth best represented country in 바카라사이트 clinical ranking, tied with Germany. The Ne바카라사이트rlands is third with seven universities, still well behind 바카라사이트 UK with 14 universities and 바카라사이트 US with 35 top 100 institutions.
In mainland Europe, 바카라사이트 best place for clinical and health studies is 바카라사이트 Karolinska Institute (KI) in Sweden, in 13th position.

UC Berkeley is back in 바카라사이트 top 10 after it dropped out in 바카라사이트 2013-14 ranking.
