This course uses multiple teaching methods.
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.
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.
We do not use/consider predicted grades.
A Level resits are permitted. Resits must achieve BBB. GCSE resits are permitted but must be achieved by the time of application.
This is specifically a widening-participation (WP) route. The following criteria must be met:
