Course Description :

YEARS 1 - 2

Phase 1 (Years 1 and 2)

You’ll take five systems-based modules and three student-selected components in each of the two years of Phase 1.

Modules are based on body systems, which in turn encompass various scientific and medical themes. Each system is visited a minimum of three times during the programme.

We introduce the basic biological sciences and address key topics, including:

• normal biological structure and function of cells, organs and body systems
• the effect of illness on people and their families
• the impact of environmental and social factors on health.

Student-selected components (SSCs)

SSCs allow you to build a portfolio of core competencies while focusing on topics of particular interest. Some are carried out in blocks of two to five weeks, while others run throughout the year.

YEARS 3 - 4

Phase 2 (Years 3 and 4)

You’ll undertake a series of placements in our associate teaching hospitals and in the community, returning regularly to the medical school for teaching weeks and assessments. Working alongside clinical teams, you’ll expand and apply the knowledge and skills acquired during Phase 1.

You’ll also complete three SSCs over the two years, based around clinical scenarios, patient interviews and history taking.

YEAR 5

Phase 3 (Year 5)

The final year of the programme provides you with clinical and community placements, including in a GP surgery.

Throughout the year you’ll return to the medical school for a teaching programme, which incorporates individual sessions in communication skills and simulated patient scenarios.

You’ll complete your SSC programme, which may include spending time in a specialism not previously experienced or gaining a deeper understanding in an area that already interests you.

You will also complete your Intermediate Life Support qualification.

Elective

After your final examinations, you’ll complete a six-week elective in the UK or overseas. For many students, this is one of the most eagerly anticipated and memorable experiences at medical school – an opportunity to explore medicine in an entirely new environment, both socially and culturally.

Student assistantship

Following your elective, you’ll spend three weeks shadowing a current Foundation Year (FY1) doctor in the hospital where you’ll be based for your own FY1 training.
