University students

A university student was an individual who studied at a university.

Unlike school and college students, university students usually studied just one subject. They were often referred as a student of their chosen subject, for example both Liz Shaw (TV: Spearhead from Space) and Martha Jones studied medicine and were therefore referred to as medical students. (TV: Smith and Jones)

A student in their first year of university could be referred to as a fresher. (TV: Knock Knock) A student who completed university was known as graduate of that university. (AUDIO: Autumn, TV: Death in Heaven)

University students could be studying towards a degree (TV: Spearhead from Space) or a more advanced diploma, such as a Doctorate. (TV: The God Complex)

Subjects studied at university could be as diverse as cheesemaking. (TV: The God Complex)
