The Medical School


Our aim is to provide high quality, innovative teaching and research to ensure tomorrow's doctors are best equipped to tackle disease.

About Us

The School's activities incorporate teaching, research and the practice of medicine. Our courses expose medical students to best current practice, through learning with the excellent Primary and Secondary care providers in the region.

Research

In the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise, we submitted to 6 Units of Assessment. Overall, 90% of our research was assessed as internationally recognised with 60% of research in UoAs 2 and 4 being rated world-leading or internationally excellent. We increased substantially the number of staff submitted and our research power ranks us 11th out of the 20 Russell Group Medical Schools.
