My study programm is called "the new one", that's supposed to be less heavy than before. It lost some subject like anatomy, because it wasn't justified, and some advanced courses moved early because they were more related to the excercise of the career so they can work as introduction.
Talking to former students, the change seems to be good.
I can only talk about the second year of chemistry and pharmacy, that includes basic chemistry, basic biology and some practical courses.
But there are still some changes I would like to see in the career.
So far, there have been some troubles because of the requirements of some courses include others that aren't that necesary. They are very advanced and complicated, but then we don't really use that much of it in the next, and some people who failed those courses can't take the ones even though they are capable enough to do it. For example, electromagnetism was needed for physiology, because understanding energetic fields and ion corrents was key to study the movements of ions in the cells. But we barely saw any of that in electromagnetism, which was focused on the maths of it more than the nature of it.
Sometimes, requirements are only there tu avoid students to have schedule clashes, because we have a lot lately, and their organization is not our responsability. Specially if we pay good money for every year.
The official lenght is five years, and the media per student is 7-8 years, so it would be a great help for us to finish the career.
Another issue is the lack of diverse and interesting cfg, that is to say, General formation courses.
