Course Summary

This integrated medicine course is open to both home and international students. On this integrated medicine course, you'll study at one of the UK's major teaching hospitals – University Hospital Southampton – and at our purpose-built Life Sciences facilities on campus. You'll get clinical experience from the first weeks of your course, meeting patients in hospital and primary care settings. You'll also benefit from our world-leading medical research groups, carrying out your own in-depth project. As part of your degree you'll attend weekend shifts as a healthcare support worker to experience multi-professional teamworking, undertake your own research project in year 3 and take a student assistantship module in year 5. You'll meet patients in clinical settings and will learn from volunteer patients, simulated environments and prepared patient cases. You can take your year 5 elective anywhere in the UK, or abroad, apply for a Masters of Medical Science at Southampton – or study for a BSc or MSc at another university – between year 3 and year 4 (known as intercalation) and take an optional French or Spanish language module in year 3. You can get involved in research and entrepreneurship. We work on life-changing treatments and therapies in partnership with industry and with experts in the physical sciences, computing, engineering and mathematics fields. In year 3, students may be placed in partner trusts including Portsmouth and Winchester as well as Southampton. In the final 2 years of the programme, students are placed across the Wessex region.
