Medicine

Medicine at Cambridge is intellectually stimulating and professionally challenging. You study the medical sciences first, before learning to apply that knowledge to medical practice as a clinical student. The Faculty of Biology provides the core teaching through lectures and practical classes in the first two years, with small-group supervisions taking place in Colleges. The third year provides a unique opportunity to specialise in your choice of subject, typically (but not always) taken from the Natural Sciences course. The clinical years are built around placements in local hospitals and GP surgeries, where you will develop the skills and experience to practice medicine. The full 6-year course qualifies you for both the Bachelor of Medicine (MB) and Bachelor of Surgery (BChir) degrees. More details about the course can be found on the University website. 

Medicine at Murray Edwards

Murray Edwards has a strong tradition in Medicine, welcoming around 10 undergraduates each year. This means we have around 60 medical students in the College at any one time, providing a lively, highly interactive, and supportive community. The College has a strong supervision record, with our teaching staff working across the breadth of biomedical disciplines. Importantly, half of our medical Fellows are practising clinicians and we have dedicated Directors of Studies for the pre-clinical and clinical years. The College provides grants for internships, research projects, medical electives and travel. Our excellent College Medical Society (MEdMedSoc) provides a wealth of social and academic support across all six years, and our alumnae network is a further valuable source of career guidance and mentoring. We aim to provide an environment where medical students thrive, achieve their full potential and go on to make a difference in the world.
