Swansea University School of Medicine - History

History

The Swansea University College of Medicine was formed (as the School of Medicine) in 2001 as a teaching and academic centre in collaboration with the University of Wales College of Medicine (itself now part of Cardiff University). The school launched a 4 year fast track graduate entry programme in 2004 in collaboration with Cardiff University.

In 2007, the Welsh Government allowed the College to offer full medical degrees to students whereby students can take a full four-year degree course at Swansea University.

The School of Medicine has a rugby team called Swansea Medicals RFC

Famous quotes containing the word history:

    We aspire to be something more than stupid and timid chattels, pretending to read history and our Bibles, but desecrating every house and every day we breathe in.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    The custard is setting; meanwhile
    I not only have my own history to worry about
    But am forced to fret over insufficient details related to large
    Unfinished concepts that can never bring themselves to the point
    Of being, with or without my help, if any were forthcoming.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    These anyway might think it was important
    That human history should not be shortened.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
