Opportunities in the Undergraduate Programme and School of Medicine‌

The professional attributes we value most highly as a medical school will equip our medical graduates with the tools required to provide excellent care to their patients in any healthcare system and to make a positive contribution to the development of medical knowledge. As professionals, our medical graduates will always put their patients' needs and welfare first. They will apply their theoretical knowledge and practical clinical skills in a safe manner and subscribe to the time-honoured principle of primum, non nocere (first, do no harm). They will be exemplars of effective and compassionate verbal and written communication, with patients, their families and colleagues. They will work well with others in multidisciplinary healthcare teams which are united in the best interests of the patient. They will never cease to learn and will embrace a healthy pattern of life-long learning throughout their careers. They will be generous with this knowledge and support the education of students and junior trainees. Our undergraduate medical programme aims to foster the development of these graduate attributes by providing authentic patient contact in a safe learning environment and by encouraging civic engagement and participation in campus-based extracurricular activities which promote leadership and teamwork. Our special study module programme allows students to focus on areas of particular interest to them and their career objectives and benefit from working closely with expert role models. Participation in our summer research programme will cultivate curiosity and a passion for inquiry. Our multi-ethnic student body will expose students to the benefits of learning about other cultures and will promote respect for diversity and tolerance. Our medical graduates will exemplify the attributes valued by our university.
