    Course Summary

    The University of Aberdeen’s Medicine MBChB is a modern, integrated and systems-based degree program. It is heavily research-led, often including new advances made at Aberdeen itself. The University of Aberdeen’s health campus is one of the largest and best equipped in Europe, including a teaching hospital as well as specialised maternity and paediatric facilities.

    You’ll learn from established clinicians, specialist in their fields. Better still, much of your learning will take place in a real world clinical context, giving you not just an intellectual understanding of medicine, but the patient-centred approach demanded of today’s practitioners.

    If you are changing direction after starting in another career area, you will possess valuable work experience and professional awareness. Many employers actively seek candidates with these benefits. Our network of contacts, a dedicated employability service and a reputation in the legal profession mean we also have an outstanding track-record of finding students legal employment.Many employers favour GDL students in an increasingly competitive legal job market. Through studying another degree subject, you will have gained many transferable skills. By taking the conversion route into law, you are showing motivation and determination by choosing law at a later stage than some others. This looks good to employers.

    Course Outline

    This course is typically delivered over 5 years.

    Year 1:

    The first term of year one will see you gaining a solid background in the medical sciences and an understanding of disease processes. The second term will be body systems based, involving actual clinical cases.

    In your first year you will also complete the Student Selected Component, a 4 week group-work based module, and the Foundations of Primary Care module.

    Year 2:

    In your second year you will build upon your knowledge of human biological systems. You will undertake many different weekly clinical attachments, working with several different interdisciplinary team members. In addition, you’ll have another 4 week Student Selected Component, on human disease and its molecular mechanisms.

    Year 3:

    You’ll round out your study of the Foundations of Primary Care over the course of year 3. You’ll also study Medical Humanities, and continue with a series of clinical attachments, this time on a bi-weekly basis.

    Year 4

    In year 4, you’ll focus on developing your management and diagnostic skills. You’ll have 9 separate 5-week clinical attachments, at least one at Inverness.

    Year 5:

    During your ‘Apprentice Year’, you’ll become truly prepared to begin practicing as a physician. You’ll complete GP/Psychiatry, Surgical and Medical attachments, and become prepared to work as a foundation doctor.

    Learning & Teaching

    The University of Aberdeen’s medical programs feature traditional learning methods such as tutorials, group projects, research and lectures, but also a great deal of clinical practice, with growing degrees of responsibility as your learning progresses. Your academic work will be assessed via course work and written exams, and you will undertake a series of clinical exams as well.

    Career Possiblities

    A degree in Medicine from the University of Aberdeen prepares you for your Foundation Training as a doctor. However, many students feel more drawn to research than clinical practice, and work towards an MD, PhD or ChM via the thesis route. Aberdeen features an Academic Foundation Programme which may be of interest to such students.
