I am currently studying Biomedical Science and like many other students across the country, most of us want to study further, especially into the field of Medicine. However, for students like me and many others in a very similar situation, we can't afford to live out after doing our first degree. 

Not only do we have to pay for studying further, but we have to self accommodate and live up to our own expenses. For intense courses such as Medicine and Dentistry, it is very difficult to work as well as study to get where we want. Most importantly, if we get help from local universities and the government, we would have less pressure on us and more qualified doctors and dentists would be around, not causing a lack of professional problems for the whole community/government.

I decided to open up this petition for a specific university, University of Hertfordshire, to introduce the course of Medicine. Not only will this benefit me and my friends, it will benefit many many local people in the eastern/southern region of the country. I have come across many international students who struggle to earn their first degree, and would like to do  another degree but cannot afford to apply for a transfer from university to university.

Most universities that do Biomedical Science transfers to Medicine are in the London region; there are over 200 students currently in my year of BSc Biomedical Science who would like to study further but unfortunately, are unable to afford the transfer. 

The more people that sign this petition, the more students will be able to get into a less pressurised university to study medicine and the more qualified Doctors there would be. It will also give the university the recognition it needs and helps many international students from around the world, as Hertfordshire is a very good and lenient university for students across the globe. Bringing such talent  to the country is a great advantage for all of us.
