Mmmmmm - I seriously worry about the future of our Unis. I mean traditionally, as far back as anyone alive now can remember, there's for instance been shedloads of research done in Unis and a lot of the groundwork has formed an integral part of student's degree courses when it hasn't been a novel thing that nobody knew diddly squat about. By now, of course, a lot of that work has been overtaken by newer discoveries and has been replaced by the latest.

However, if funding and collaboration becomes diluted - where will the PhD students get the new stuff to research from, in order to keep the lower echelons supplied with the latest knowledge?

I did my BSc in medical sciences at St Andrews. In those days, the clinical medicine continued at Manchester. Nowadays it’s more often Dundee, though I think then as now you can go anywhere you choose if they’ll take you. Most stay in Scotland now because of the absence of tuition fees.

This is an A level alternative - it’s quite new and unfortunately not all unis accept it.
