Course summary

TEF Silver

University of Leicester has opted into the TEF and received a Silver award.

There has been a Medical School at the University of Leicester for 40 years. Our experience ensures an excellent standard of teaching and a supportive community with our new facilities providing a state-of-the art learning environment. We have revised our curriculum to make it even more patient-focused. Our course is designed to be clinically relevant throughout and integrates your learning, enabling you to acquire the medical knowledge and professional competencies that are essential to practice medicine effectively. You will have hands-on experience – working with real patients from the beginning. We have a very well-equipped dissecting room, enabling all students to learn anatomy through cadaveric dissection.

Course details

Modules

The number of places on offer per year is currently 290. Phase 1 of the course lasts 2 years and is largely in the Medical School. However, there is early patient contact from the start of the course and all teaching is patient-focused. Phases 3,4 and 5 take place in clinical settings in teaching hospitals in Leicester, District General hospitals or in the community. During the course you can also choose to undertake an additional year of study to gain an intercalated degree by a route of your choice.
