This course uses multiple teaching methods.
Students begin their training with ‘pre-clinical’ work, involving study of the basic medical sciences. This is followed by the ‘clinical’ course, during which you will work in hospital wards under the supervision of consultants.
Case-Based Learning (CBL) is a tutorial-based, group learning approach where students work through real-world clinical scenarios across subjects such as cardiology, respiratory, and gastroenterology.
During each session, you’ll identify key learning outcomes and use them to guide your study, following a patient case from initial presentation through to diagnosis and management.
The goal of CBL is to help students apply theoretical knowledge to practical situations. This better prepares you for reviewing real cases during clinical placements.
Team-Based Learning (TBL) is an active learning method that engages students in a structured approach. Students collaborate with their team to solve problems and receive immediate feedback.
Predicted grades are used for selecting candidates at interview stages.
All resit exams must be taken in the same academic year. Only one resit attempt accepted for the same A2 subject.
Students are required to submit a transferable skills form, detailing work experience which is discussed in interview. Clinical experience is not required.
