Medicine

About this course

Medicine is the study and practice of diagnosing, treating, and preventing disease and injury in human beings. It is one of the most demanding and most rewarding of all degree courses, requiring sustained intellectual effort across the natural sciences, clinical reasoning, and the human skills of communication, empathy, and ethical judgement. Doctors are expected to be both scientists and practitioners, capable of applying complex biological knowledge in real clinical situations while working with patients and colleagues in ways that are compassionate, professional, and safe. At the University of Sheffield, this five-year full-time MBChB programme includes a sandwich placement year and a year abroad as part of its structure, along with substantial work placement hours in clinical settings. Sheffield's medical school is highly regarded, and the programme emphasises learning from patients
