Hi Simriank, Medicine courses at uni normally last for around 5 years, depending on which uni you study at. I can’t tell you which uni will be best for you; only you can decide this.
Some things you can consider when deciding are: the location of the uni (do you want to stay near home or travel further away?), What the course specialises in (does the course have modules focussing on musculoskeletal science or any other areas you are interested in?) It would also be a good idea to look at the entry requirements as this will give you a guide of what A-Levels you need to study to be able to apply. Normally for medicine this would be sciences and maths. If you are very interested in sports perhaps studying sports physiotherapy could be another option for you?
I’m not an expert in any of these fields so you should speak to your careers advisor at school to get more information. I hope this helps!
