Gain worldwide recognition in a truly global community

Join 36,000 students from 140 countries, living and learning in an international environment. Our globally focused curriculum is designed to equip you with transferable skills for today’s fast-paced world, preparing you for opportunities that extend beyond your home country or the UK.

Clinical placements

Contact with patients and clinical placements begins in your first year. Clinical placements will take place locally and across the east of England, offering you exposure to a wide and diverse patient population. This hands-on experience is essential in developing the skills needed to become a resilient and compassionate doctor. You’ll actively participate in patient care applying your clinical knowledge in real-world situations. Placement sites are within commuting distance of the University, and through strong partnerships with the National Health Service (NHS), these local and regional placements increase your chances of securing employment in the area should you choose to remain in the UK after graduation.

Confirmed placement providers include several local, key, NHS partners, including East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust, West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, Hertfordshire Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust, Bedfordshire Hospitals NHS Trust and Herts and West Essex Integrated Care Board (HWE ICB); and primary care partners with many local GP practices.
