The Medical School generates and sustains excellence in education and research in a friendly, supportive and stimulating environment. Our medical graduates are highly regarded for the breadth of their undergraduate experience and ability. You will gain experience in clinical environments throughout the West of Scotland, including our newly refurbished medical teaching centre at the Glasgow Royal Infirmary and the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital, which boasts a purpose-built learning and teaching facility, teaching laboratories and a state-of-the-art clinical skills suite.Our innovative curriculum is delivered through a range of teaching styles which include small-group teaching, problem-based learning, lectures, vocational and clinical studies, labs and e-learning. You will gain experience of a clinical environment from year 1. The MBChB follows a ''spiral curriculum'' where subject material is revisited at different stages of the curriculum with increasing depth and clinical focus. You will undertake two periods of elective study, and can select from over 20 intercalated degree options, allowing flexibility to study areas of personal interest in more depth. Our award-winning Wolfson Medical School Building offers you extended access to library facilities, and a first-class clinical skills suite. We have strong links with the Postgraduate Deanery, ensuring a smooth transition from undergraduate study to postgraduate training, and produce highly trained, competent graduates who are equipped for the Foundation Training programme, for higher training, and the challenges of medicine in the 21st century.Medical career options range from hospital-based specialties such as surgery, to community-based specialties such as general practice. Almost all of our graduates start their careers as doctors with the NHS in hospitals around Scotland, although some travel further afield to various parts of England and Northern Ireland.
