The MBChB with Foundation Year is aimed at students who wish to study Medicine at the University of Leicester, but whose background makes it less likely that they will be able to meet the entry requirements for our standard five-year MBChB. Successful completion of the integrated Foundation Year will enable students to progress onto the first year of the MBChB course. The Foundation Year is taught alongside Biological Science students but includes elements specific to Medicine. Students will meet patients and learn clinical skills during their foundation year. The course is designed to enable them to take forward the knowledge, skills, attitudes and values that are required to practise medicine effectively and successfully in the modern healthcare environment. Students will be prepared for the challenges that they are experiencing today and the inevitable changes in practice that will continue to occur in the future. Upon completion of the Foundation Year, students will embark on the five-year medical course. The patient-focused curriculum will be delivered through a mixture of lectures, small group work and clinical teaching. This ensures that students learn the essential science underpinning how the human body operates, whilst learning how things can go wrong through the study of patients. During the clinical phase of the course, Leicester offers a wide range of hospital and community placements in the region, including Leicester’s big city hospitals, and district centres across the Midlands, Lincolnshire and Northamptonshire. This course is only available to students living in the UK.
