Overview
The MBChB Medicine degree prepares you to meet the knowledge, skills, and professionalism expected of all new doctors as they begin their careers. The course is fully approved by the General Medical Council (GMC) following a successful quality assurance process. You’ll study in a modern, forward-thinking environment using a spiral curriculum and problem-based learning. Each year builds on the last, helping you develop independent thinking, problem-solving, clear communication, and a deep understanding of the wider social, environmental, and global context of healthcare. We’re partnered with three hospital trusts, two mental health trusts, community services, and 63 GP practices, and have five dedicated Directors of Undergraduate Clinical Studies. You'll also learn alongside biomedical, sports and physiological scientists; pharmacists; nurses; and paramedics – preparing you for interdisciplinary teamwork.
