Medicine is a thriving and ambitious multidisciplinary faculty - a national leader in medical education, with an outstanding reputation for our combined expertise in research and teaching.
In 2011/12 we are celebrating 40 years of medicine at the University. During this time we have trained thousands of doctors and scientists, and have led cutting edge research in areas as diverse as cancer, osteoporosis, asthma and nutrition.
We lead innovative learning and discovery across the lifecourse from before birth to the elderly, by investing in multi-disciplinary research teams, creative educational programmes and initiating external partnerships and collaborations.
Become a doctor
Our undergraduate degrees represent the first stage in a rewarding career as a doctor. You will gain practical experience right from the very beginning, having contact with patients in a variety of clinical settings from the first few weeks building your clinical expertise through NHS placements. We have three Bachelor of Medicine (BM) programmes available depending on your circumstances.
Developing your career
Our postgraduate training programmes contribute to the research culture of the Faculty. Staff and students alike share the process of learning and discovery. By becoming deeply involved in high-quality basic science delivered in a clinically relevant way, you will gain the necessary knowledge, skills and attitudes required for a successful career in medical research.
