On-campus clinics
We one of the few universities in the UK with our very own on-campus Dental Clinic. We are fully equipped to give all dental students direct access to practical experience in high-end dental work within the institution.
Vision Sciences students will treat patients in our on-campus Eye Health Clinic. The clinic is equivalent to a high street practice and open to members of the public.
Clinical placements
On some of our courses you'll gain invaluable real-life experience. You'll have the opportunity to take part in in-built or voluntary clinical placements. These could be in urban or rural NHS settings. You'll also be able to interact with our volunteer patient group.
Inter-professional learning
Inter-professional learning sessions are important to courses such as MBBS or Physician Associate. You’ll work alongside students from other professional healthcare programmes. This includes Pharmacy and Nursing. You'll graduate as a well-rounded member of the healthcare team.
Learn while you earn
Many postgraduate courses can be studied part-time or as individual modules with much of the teaching taking place online. This means you can upskill whilst working in your current role.

We are always looking for willing volunteer patients to take part in student teaching or assessment sessions. Volunteers should be happy to allow students to record their medical histories. They may also carry out physical examinations in some cases.
Volunteers can attend sessions once or twice a year if they wish, or can choose to be more active participants.
