Medical Students Finance Survey |
Introduction
This survey covers things like your maintenance funding and work outside of medical school, and how these impact you. It also includes questions regarding your fee status, and other external funding methods you may access to help with your degree. This should help us get a clear idea about the national state of medical student finances so we can campaign on your behalf.
We need you to complete this survey so we can understand your current situation and use this to generate public and political support to change the funding systems. We can only do that with your help.
For those in earlier years, we are doing this for your future selves to prevent the systemic degradation in medical student finances that will only continue. Furthermore, the survey will help us with other avenues we are exploring to improve your funding too and raise awareness of the situation, so it’s really important students in all years fill this out too.
The survey is open to all medical students who are currently studying at a university in the UK and who are domiciled in the UK for student financial support. The survey should take around 10 minutes to complete. Thank you for taking part.
