About The Course

From day one students on Keele’s Medicine programme will experience a highly integrated course with lectures, clinical work, practical sessions and problem-based learning. Throughout the course, there will be continuous feedback given to students to help improve understanding, knowledge and performance of medical practice.

The course is split into three phases. Phase one takes place over year one and two and emphasises the fundamentals of both pathological, biomedical, social and behavioural sciences. In this phase, students can also expect early clinical exposure. Some year one integrated modules include ‘The Body’s Defence’ and ‘Brain and Mind’.

In year two further integrated modules include ‘Sensorimotor systems’ and ‘Movements and Trauma’. Through intercalation opportunities between phase one and two, students can pursue other qualifications related to the Medicine field, which also allow a greater understanding of personal areas of interest.

In phase two, students will build on the foundation of clinical knowledge they have acquired. Skills will also be further developed through immersion in clinical placements whilst applying biomedical social and behavioural science knowledge. Between phase two and three, there is an opportunity for students to undertake an optional intercalated master’s degree.

In the final phase, students undergo the Preparation for Professional Practice, which includes out-of-hours evening and weekend working. Students will also do extensive assistantships to aid the transition into practising as Foundation Year 1 doctors.
