This degree aims to provide a science programme related to medicine with strong professional research elements. These aspects are closely linked to the three generic graduate outcomes specified in Tomorrow’s Doctors; that is, a Doctor as a scholar and scientist, practitioner, and professional. This programme acts as a potential stepping stone into Medical Schools as a graduate entrant and also equips graduates with the skills to pursue other clinically related careers. This makes it an ideal 5th choice for those whose primary aim is Medicine or Dentistry, as well as a 1st choice for those interested in a Health based career but who want to keep their options open. The programme is a Feeder Stream for the Medicine Four Year Graduate Entry Scheme (MBBCh) at Cardiff University. Students will benefit from teaching and research expertise across a number of disciplines.  Our programme examines the major body systems right down to the cellular and molecular level and is constantly updated to reflect the latest developments in the field. Students will be taught by experts who carry out medical and fundamental scientific research in these areas and will find out how research translates into advances in clinical practice.
