Clinically focused and patient-centred, our five-year undergraduate degree will equip you with essential knowledge, understanding, skills and attitudes to practice medicine competently and professionally.
Your hands-on learning starts with practical classes in our pathology labs, anatomy and dissection rooms, alongside GP and community visits. Over the course of your studies, you’ll participate in a comprehensive series of clinical placements in medicine, surgery, general practice, senior health, paediatrics, obstetrics and gynaecology, psychiatry and diagnostics such as radiology, as well as other specialties.
On successful completion, you’ll be granted the primary medical qualification – Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) – and be eligible to register with the General Medical Council (GMC) and begin its Foundation Programme.
