Course Overview
Medical research is the backbone of modern medicine, driving innovation and improving patient care. While research and clinical practice may seem to be separate entities, advanced research skills develop a greater depth of understanding in doctors – and have a hugely positive impact on their practice.
Our one-year intercalated BSc in Medical Research is your gateway to mastering research skills and transforming your medical career.
Our programme is tailored to medical students eager to immerse themselves in a specialised research area. Whether your interests lie in clinical or biomedical research, we offer the flexibility to pursue research questions that align with your career goals.
Alongside taught modules, you’ll take part in a year-long dissertation research project. During your dissertation, you’ll engage with actual experiential research within a discipline of interest and undertake a closely supervised programme of research during the first two semesters, enabling you to produce a synoptic dissertation.
On this course, we aim to instill a lasting love for research, highlighting its vital role in enhancing patient care. You’ll gain unparalleled expertise in the areas of medicine you’re passionate about and prepare for a future where research informs your practice.
