Studying

From undergraduate programmes, through postgraduate taught and research programmes to continuing professional development opportunities, we are committed to lifelong learning, underpinned by research-led teaching. 

Undergraduate

We offer undergraduate programmes that develop the science and healthcare leaders of the future, who are socially accountable and committed to the service of patients and the public.  

Our students have numerous opportunities to gain real-world experience, whether it is part of a professional training year placement on our Medical Sciences, Neuroscience or Exercise and Sport Sciences programmes, or as part of our Medicine programme, where students gain clinical placement experience from the first few weeks of the course.
