Overview
The programme offers a pathway for individuals passionate about research, innovation, and advancing medical knowledge to make meaningful contributions to the field and shape the future of healthcare.
Features
- The Medicine programme from University of Buckingham does not include clinical training or licensure to practice medicine.
- Instead, it provides specialised training in research methodologies, critical analysis, and scientific inquiry to train individuals to become independent researchers and scholars who can contribute to the advancement of medical knowledge and improve healthcare outcomes.
Programme Structure
Curriculum:
- Research opportunities are multidisciplinary, spanning biomedical, clinical and health policy areas.
- Examples include investigating the origin of diseases at the cellular/molecular level, developing clinical interventions for targeted therapies, and improving health and social care for patients and populations.
- The usual period of doctoral study is three years or six years part time, though the University’s Regulations also permit candidates who make particularly rapid progress to apply to the University Research Committee for permission to submit at the end of their second year of study full time.
- Students are registered initially for the degree of PhD (Doctor of Philosophy), although their status is probationary until the first Annual Review has taken place normally between 12 and 18 months from first registration.
