Enrichment: development and stretch
As part of a complete programme of study, students are involved in a range of enrichment activities. These additional opportunities ensure you are an attractive applicant to universities and employers.
Take a look at our Enrichment Booklet 2024
There is no cap of the amount of enrichment activities students can become involved in and we pride ourselves in offering a range and depth of additional activities that we believe to be without parallel.
Our enrichment opportunities include (but are in no way limited to):
- Duke of Edinburgh Gold award (open to all students – no previous experience needed)
- Medical Society; our wide-ranging package of activities and opportunities to support students wishing to pursue a career in medicine
