Medicine University of East Anglia

Overview

At Norwich Medical School we believe in learning in context. From the very first weeks of the Medicine course from University of East Anglia , you’ll spend time every week in clinical practice, ensuring that you're able to apply your learning to patients in the same week. You’ll explore anatomy linked to clinical practice in our anatomy facility, including dissection. You’ll have access to a varied range of clinical placements in acute hospital wards, specialist units and general practice. And, we’ll focus on linking theory with practice across the course, including during small-group teaching sessions and within primary care placements. 

Our rigorous training ensures we develop doctors who are knowledgeable scholars and scientists. And we pride ourselves on providing the highest possible quality of learning, in a supportive, nurturing and student-centred environment, where you can reach your potential.
