Your Elective

This section aims to be as practical as possible. Elsewhere, there's loads of information on official websites and in official books; however this section includes what I did and what I learnt from fellow students, which can sometimes vary from what officialdom suggests.

If you've recently been on elective and think there should be any changes to these pages, do feel free to get in touch.
