What university course will i need to take to become a doctor?
Q. I've been having a little trouble trying to decided what I want to do as a career but have finally made the decision! Doctor :) but I'm unsure which university course I would need to take. I'm thinking of choosing university of glamorgan in South Wales but not sure which course there would the one I needed to take. Also, I'm unsure of the qualifications I would need to have to be accepted. What I A levels would I need? Thanks! I mean medical doctor :p

A. ... you would need to take Medicine. Glamorgan doesn't offer med, generally only the more 'prestigious' universities do, and their entry requirements are very high - a large handful of A grades in 'proper' A levels (Chemistry is a must), a very large handful of A* grades at GCSE, plus a very good personal statement and lots of extra-curricular activities. You would need to take, and do well in, an aptitude test such as BMAT.

Are there consequences to interrupting a university professor at a lecture?
Q. So me and some friends were planning a prank to play on another university. Walk up to a podium and interrupt a university professor by taking the mic and saying a few words and leaving. Are there any legal consequences to this (legal)? We go to a totally different university.
Asked by Dayan G - Sun Dec 20 22:59:02 2009 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Yes, trespassing, public mischief, etc., and that means an adult criminal record which will make it hard for you to get a job. And if by this act, you bring disrepute upon your own university, you may find yourself expelled by your own school for something you did elsewhere (and yes, they can do this). I suggest you don't do this! You may think it is funny but no one else will and the consequences will be painful for you! *** Addendum: If you take that mike from the person speaking with any kind of force or if the speaker fights back, you could end up charged with criminal assault. Felonies don't look good on your permanent record!
