Early Patient Contact

Early patient contact is an extremely important feature of our teaching programme, particularly in the early years of the curriculum.

Final Year Elective Project

All our medicine students undertake an 8 week elective project during their final year. The possibilities are bounded only by the extent of one’s imagination and initiative.

The General Practice and Community Medical Education (GPCME) teaching team are based in the Polwarth Building at the Foresterhill campus, and provide core teaching to all five years of the MBChB course.

Intercalculated Degrees

Undertaking an intercalated degree programme gives you the chance to study a particular area in depth whilst studying for a further qualification at undergraduate or postgraduate level.

Medical Humanities

During their six week Medical Humanities Student Selective Component, third year MBChB students are encouraged to consider Medicine, Healthcare, Illness or Disability from an alternative perspective.

Remote and Rural Placement Opportunities

Undergraduate placements in the remote and rural areas of Northern Scotland provide our students with fantastic and unique opportunities to experience healthcare delivery in a variety of settings.

Student Selected Components

Student Selective Components (SSCs) aim to address some of the key, non-academic elements in medical education.
