Overview
Key features
Doctors are witness to the most joyful and difficult moments of people’s lives. It’s no wonder they have such meaningful and rewarding careers. We are looking to attract high-achieving, aspirational students, from all backgrounds, who display a caring attitude and values consistent with those of the NHS constitution. We aim to help you become skilled, professional and caring doctors prepared to make patient care your first priority.
We have more than 40 years' experience of medical education at Leicester, which means that you will benefit from excellent training within an established, supportive community. Throughout the course, you will learn from expert academics and medical practitioners working day-to-day in the NHS. Their teaching is directly influenced by their expertise in a wide range of clinical disciplines, and in such diverse fields as heart disease, cancer and genetics – some of the areas where Leicester's reputation is truly global.
Our Medicine course at the University of Leicester is truly patient-focussed, and enables you to take forward the knowledge, skills, attitudes and values that are required to practise medicine effectively and successfully in the modern healthcare environment. You will be prepared for the challenges that we are experiencing today and the inevitable changes in practice that will continue to occur in the future.
We run an integrated curriculum. Teaching and learning is based around patients and their needs. It is not a problem-based learning course, but rather a patient-focused curriculum which is delivered through a mixture of lectures, small group work and clinical teaching. This ensures that you learn the essential science underpinning how the human body operates, whilst learning how things can go wrong through the study of patients.
Why Leicester?
- Our integrated course offers the best of both worlds. Learn through a mix of traditional lectures, small group work and clinical skills training. Our course is truly patient-focussed and hands-on, so you'll meet real patients from Year 1.
- We have outstanding facilities, including a large dissecting room where you will learn anatomy through full body dissection on cadavers. Perfect your clinical skills in our state-of-the-art Clinical Skills Unit.
- The University of Leicester is ranked in the top 20 in the world (and the top 5 in the UK) for clinical medicine, according to the 2021 Shanghai Academic Ranking of World Universities.
- Learn from leading clinicians at the front line of their speciality. Our many partnerships in the region offer a wide range of clinical placements in hospitals or in the community. You'll experience working in a diverse range of healthcare environments - from big city hospitals to smaller, district centres - preparing you fully for life as a Foundation Doctor.
