Medicine
Our innovative Medicine course provides exciting opportunities for study across a wide range of subjects and will equip you with the knowledge and skills needed for your future career.
Why study Medicine at Bristol? Bristol has a well-established medical school with an excellent reputation and state-of-the-art facilities, providing quality teaching to prepare you for a career in medicine. In 2017, we introduced a new, innovative curriculum centred on patient contact, integration of scientific and clinical learning, and development of the skills needed to become a good doctor.
Clinical training takes place in academies based at both central teaching and regional district hospitals in Bath, Gloucestershire, North and South Bristol, Somerset and Swindon. There are opportunities for intercalation, research and study abroad during final-year electives.
We aim to nurture your capabilities and aspirations through mentorship, encouragement, support and feedback. We will help you to achieve the knowledge, skills and attitudes required by the General Medical Council. On successful completion of the national two-year clinical Foundation programme, you will be fully registered with the General Medical Council and may embark on postgraduate training in primary or secondary care.
Our graduates have an excellent record of obtaining the Foundation posts they apply for, and most go on to fulfilling careers in the NHS as General Practitioners or specialist doctors.
