Medicine and Surgery (Graduate Entry)

Study medicine at Liverpool and prepare to deliver outstanding patient care, in both current and future healthcare systems. Learn how to apply a compassionate, evidence-based and patient-centred approach to your clinical practice as a doctor. The main medicine programme is our A100 ( five-year) programme but graduates with home-status may consider their eligibility to apply to our A101 (four-year) programme.

Your interest and skill in medical scholarship will be actively developed with us, underpinned by a vision to harness expertise from far and wide. You’ll learn the necessary knowledge, skills and professional behaviours to safely and ethically practice medicine. Our students benefit from GP-led small group teaching sessions, access to some of the best specialist clinical units in the UK, and enhanced learning opportunities through our state-of-the-art facilities.

We ensure our graduates are able to meet the core requirements set out by the General Medical Council, and become lifelong learners committed to their own professional development. The curriculum is delivered under a spiral model, under which concepts are introduced at an appropriate level, and revisited with increasing levels of complexity as the course progresses. The curriculum is organised and delivered through a number of supra-themes, which fall into specifically defined themes.

In year one, the Graduate Entry programme has its own bespoke timetable, with the cohort working together through the accelerated medicine programme. The Graduate entry cohort will study together for workshops, seminars and practical skills (e.g. clinical skills and anatomy) sessions, but occasionally join the larger A100 cohort for opportunities such as Leadership and management and lab-based research activities. All teaching in year one takes place on the University of Liverpool campus.

At the end of the academic year, you’ll experience your first clinical placements in the NHS. In years two to four, you’ll join the same
