BioPALS stands for BIOlogy Peer-Assisted Learning Scheme. It was set up by students for students of the Schools of Biological and Biomedical Sciences at the University of Edinburgh.
We want to help you make the most of your degree by creating a friendly and informal environment for cross-year interaction and support. Every two weeks, our trained student facilitators hold structured group meet-up, board games or chit chat sessions based around a theme relevant to your course or university experience. This year, our sessions included content based sessions as well as internship experience sharing evenings.
