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:
“It is the true office of history to represent the events themselves, together with the counsels, and to leave the observations and conclusions thereupon to the liberty and faculty of every man’s judgement.”
—Francis Bacon (1561–1626)
“To care for the quarrels of the past, to identify oneself passionately with a cause that became, politically speaking, a losing cause with the birth of the modern world, is to experience a kind of straining against reality, a rebellious nonconformity that, again, is rare in America, where children are instructed in the virtues of the system they live under, as though history had achieved a happy ending in American civics.”
—Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)
“Whenever we read the obscene stories, the voluptuous debaucheries, the cruel and torturous executions, the unrelenting vindictiveness, with which more than half the Bible is filled, it would be more consistent that we called it the word of a demon than the Word of God. It is a history of wickedness that has served to corrupt and brutalize mankind.”
—Thomas Paine (1737–1809)
