The School of Clinical and Experimental Medicine offers a wide range of undergraduate, postgraduate taught, postgraduate research, continuing professional development (CPD) and short courses.

Undergraduate Study

Our highly respected MBChB programme is the largest in the UK, takes 5 years to complete and produces over 400 qualified doctors every year who go on to life long careers in medicine and other health related professions.  We also offer the MBChB as a Graduate Entry Course for graduates with a first degree in life sciences (40 students per year). This takes 4 years to complete. The first two years of the MBChB programme have recently been revised and this is the first stage of an ongoing major review of the whole programme. Continuing development of a vertically integrated pharmacology / therapeutics strand is a key component of this review.

The BMedSc course is available for those interested in Medical Science.  It explores the physiology of the human body and the many diseases that affect humans.  The course takes 3 years to complete. The programme is currently in the first of a two year phase to increase student numbers from 70 to 90 students per year.

We are keen to promote tomorrow’s clinician scientists and therefore particularly encourage our MBChB students to take an intercalated BMedSc degree, which can be completed after 2 years of MBChB studies followed by a 3rd year in the BMedSc course, before looping back to the clinical years of the MBChB course.

Postgraduate Prospectus

The School is committed to the development of early stage career scientists and clinical scientists. Our research groupings have one of the best records in the UK for obtaining Research Council and charity-funded research training fellowships and career development fellowships. These are dedicated integrated academic programmes for MBChB graduates, including Academic Foundation Year Programme (Years 1-2), Academic Fellowship Programmes (Years 3-5) and dedicated academic clinical lecturer posts in many of the key areas of major research strength.
