MBChB Medicine
About this course
MBChB in MBChB Medicine, a medicine degree centred on clinical practice and medical science. Core topics include Critical & Analytical Thinking. Students gain early practical experience through placements in general practice and acute trusts starting in the first year, supported by facilities such as an anatomy centre and skills laboratories. The first year covers foundational biomedical systems and primary care through modules like Principles Block, Student Selected Components, Core Clinical Placements, and Into ARU. The second year expands medical knowledge via Systems, Student Selected Components, and Core Clinical Placements. The third year shifts towards advanced practice with Clinical Induction Block, Year 3 and 4 Rotations, Clinical Blocks, Student Selected Components, and Foundation Assistantship. Throughout the curriculum, students engage with Longitudinal Themes and Clinical Placements to integrate basic sciences and clinical practice across all phases.
