With separate pre-clinical and clinical sections to the course, on the Oxford medical course you will first gain a comprehensive grounding in medical science, before applying that scientific foundation in the clinical setting. Univ admits students for Medicine at both the Pre-Clinical (years 1-3) and Clinical (years 4-6) stage. The pre-clinical part of the course will provide you with the knowledge and understanding that you need to make a start in clinical medicine. It will prepare you for a world where medical practice is rapidly evolving and enable you to make your own distinctive contribution. As well as giving a thorough grounding in the functional science of the body, the course provides a full introduction to the fundamentals of medical research. Although all students are required to follow a core curriculum, the course allows for a certain degree of specialisation. For further information on the structure of the course in the clinical years (years 4 – 6) please see the clinical study website at medsci.ox.ac.uk

Support from Univ tutors continues into the clinical years, and the college has a team of tutors dedicated to supporting you as you progress through years 4 – 6. The College also owns property close to the John Radcliffe Hospital, which many medical students choose to live in in later years.
