Students begin their training with two years of ‘pre-clinical’ work, involving study of the basic medical sciences.
This is followed by the ‘clinical’ course, lasting two years, 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.
Competitive candidates are typically predicted at least the minimum offer level.
We would typically expect candidates to achieve the minimum offer level in a single sitting. However, where candidates have been adversely affected by circumstances outside of their control, we will consider on a case-by-case basis.
Clinical work experience is not mandatory.
Work experience forms a crucial part of our assessment. All candidates who meet academic and UCAT requirements are scored on their experience and reflections. Only the top 80 or so are invited to interview.
You will be asked to complete a course-specific questionnaire including a work experience log.
Used as one component in selection for interview.
