Curriculum
The School’s major Undergraduate Programme is the MBBCh in Medicine. This is a modern integrated five-year curriculum, delivered in partnership with the School of Biosciences with additional contributions from Psychology and Social Science. The curriculum blends basic medical sciences, pathological sciences and clinical experiences. It is delivered using a variety of teaching methods, including small-group tutorials, lectures and practical laboratory-based sessions. Clinical skills are learned initially in clinical skills sessions, using models and simulators, before being put into practice on clinical placements. Clinical placement teaching occurs in partnership with over a dozen NHS Trusts and over 150 General Practices, covering the whole of Wales. The school provides a unique diversity of clinical learning experience in both hospital and community settings. A wide range of Post-Graduate Taught (PGT) Schemes is also offered. The School is the largest provider of medically-related PGT courses in the UK. These include both conventional and distance learning courses. Many courses are aimed specifically at qualified doctors and health care professionals, such as the Diploma in Practical Dermatology and the MSc in Psychiatry.

Famous quotes containing the word curriculum:
“If we focus exclusively on teaching our children to read, write, spell, and count in their first years of life, we turn our homes into extensions of school and turn bringing up a child into an exercise in curriculum development. We should be parents first and teachers of academic skills second.”
—Neil Kurshan (20th century)
