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.

About this course


The course aims to enable understudies to: Demonstrate knowledge of a range of clinical skills as set out in the course content.

Demonstrate knowledge of the theory underpinning the clinical skills


As well as the opportunity for suitably qualified graduates to apply for entry to Medical Schools’ Graduate Programmes they will also have high employability in science based areas. Graduates will be ideally placed for MSc and PhD programmes and, after further study, for research positions within the NHS (including the NHS Scientist Training Programme). The professional skills element will also aid graduates to gain places on postgraduate programmes related to other health areas, with subsequent employment opportunities such as audiology, clinical informatics, cardiography, health promotion, occupational therapy, genetic counselling, paramedic, physiotherapy, physician associate, speech and language therapy.
