Modules
This course is split into three phases: foundation year, the early years and the clinical phase. In your first year, you'll study all the important elements of biology and chemistry required as a foundation for your future studies. In addition, you'll cover key topics in professionalism and communication and study subjects including anatomy, microanatomy and microbiology. Your learning is set in a clinical context where appropriate. You'll also learn about fundamental subjects including anatomy, microanatomy and microbiology. In your second year, you'll being the early years phase. During this phase, you'll develop an understanding of the scientific and professional basics of medicine. You'll then study themes based on overarching clinical problems such as respiratory and cardiovascular medicine, the musculoskeletal system, and cancer. There is also the opportunity to reinforce your learning through hospital and general practice visits. In your fourth year, you'll begin a supervised research project in an area of your choice and an accompanying Research Methods module to help with the project. You're also able to take two optional advanced medical science modules. This will lead to being awarded the BMedSci. Following your project, you'll move into the final years and begin the Clinical Phase. Your final two years form the majority of the Clinical Phase. This is a rotation of a series of six-week placements in major teaching hospitals and primary care. The experience you gain in these years will provide you with the professional knowledge, skills, values and behaviours to succeed. In both years you'll have the option of student-selected modules, which can be carried out at home or abroad. These end with a six-week placement of your choice and a medical assistantship to prepare you for your foundation year training.
