Introduction and Orientation Module - Life Cycle (MBBS0069)

The year begins with a five day Introduction and Orientation Module (IOM) where you will be introduced to important details of the year, some core lectures covering key concepts for the year. As Year 5 is also an important year with regards to your Foundation School application and planning your elective, within the IOM you will also receive advice about career planning, Foundation School application and arranging your elective.

The theme of year 5 of the MBBS curriculum is “the life cycle” - you will encounter patients with medical conditions from across the “seven ages” of man. A large part of the year is dedicated to beginnings of life, through women’s and men’s health, sexual health and child health. In addition you will learn about family and adult health and behaviour through general practice, breast services, urology, psychiatry, dermatology, and ophthalmology.

The latter parts of the life cycle will be explored in health of the older person, oncology and palliative care. Clinical and Professional Practice teaching and learning sessions cover a wide range of topics relevant to the life cycle and specialist practice and include a patient-based patient pathway throughout the year.

Spanish Level 3: Academic Purposes - Introduction (LCSP0016)

The course is designed for intermediate level students requiring the language for studying abroad for a short period (e.g. 2-3 months). The course comprises knowledge and understanding both of the structure of the Spanish language and its use in academic environments, such as attending cultural events and taking notes related to their studies. The course covers academic culture and university life to prepare students for a short study period in Spanish-speaking countries. Students will develop critical thinking and read academic texts.  This will be related back to the student’s degree subject. The course will enhance knowledge and use of linguistic structures (a variety of styles and registers from a range of appropriate authentic academic material).  Various transferable skills will also be further developed.
