Throughout your studies, you’ll be based at Ninewells Hospital, Dundee, which will give you access to clinical areas from day one and develop your understanding of how modern healthcare operates.<br/><br/>With around 160 students in each academic year, the size and structure of our medical school helps you get to know your peers and the academics and clinicians teaching you. Youll feel part of our community from the start - especially as youll be interacting with real patients from early in the course.<br/><br/>The curriculum starts with an eight-week foundation block which explores the fundamental science that underpins the field of medicine – this will help you start to think like a doctor and begin clinical problem-solving.<br/><br/>Our spiral curriculum helps you build on knowledge in relevant areas year-on-year – you won’t be expected to learn everything in one block and then remember it forever. We’ll revisit topics to help your knowledge become second nature.<br/><br/>For the first three years, you’ll learn about body systems, examining normal and abnormal function before exploring clinical cases. Youll also learn anatomy by dissection. We use Thiel-embalmed cadavers which retain life-like tissue quality. This experience is as close to examining the anatomy of a living person as possible, and will give you an experience and understanding that no other medical school in the UK can offer.<br/><br/>After your pre-clinical years, you’ll have the option to intercalate and gain a BMSc in a range of subjects, but whether you decide to do this or not, in Levels 4 and 5, you move into clinical training. This is a series of placements that will give you a well-rounded experience in a number of clinical areas, and enable you to put your training into practice at the point of care for real patients in real healthcare settings.

To be achieved at the same sitting of Highers, to include either Chemistry or Biology and another science (Mathematics is an acceptable science). The other three Highers can be your own choice and this choice of subjects will not influence the assessment. We also require Biology and Chemistry at grade A at National 5. If not studied at Higher, we also require Mathematics and English at grade B at National 5. Standard offers offers may be conditional, based on two Advanced Highers taken in 6th year, at BB grades. Candidates who have completed S6 and have not attained the 6th year entry requirements are unlikely to be considered. With the exception of final year students, who are seeking entry to our course via the graduate route, we are unable to consider applications from current undergraduate students. Where candidates indicate that they are undertaking a ‘gap year’ we may request additional information.
