About The Course

Lancaster’s medical school is relatively small, which means the Medicine programme has a robust student-focused environment. Students get plenty of guidance during the transition to university and clinical training.

In year one, teaching is based at the university. There are two 11-week problem-based learning modules, in which students are introduced to key biomedical and social science concepts. The normal structure and function of the human body is explored. A solid foundation in basic clinical skills will be built alongside the communication skills needed for patient contact in year two to five.

In year two, students are based on campus two days a week and spend two days per week on hospital placement. In addition to this, students will engage in numerous community-related activities throughout the year.

Year three is when students undergo five rotations, each one including clinical teaching, patient contact, problem-based learning and further teaching via tutorials and lectures.

In year four, students complete two 15-week blocks that build upon the experience of year three.

In the final year, five clinical attachments are taken on. Each of these involve seven weeks of intensive clinical experience. Students will use a portfolio to guide learning and are expected to embrace reflective practice to help the transition into Foundation training.
