Young Scientist Day

The Department of Medicine holds an annual Young Scientist Day which provides a unique opportunity to hear and see the range of research being undertaken across the Department.

Cohort building

The Department currently hosts approximately 320 (84% home/EU and 16% Overseas) Research Degree students, including basic scientists and clinicians, across six campus sites in five Divisions and 17 Sections, making it one of the largest research degree programmes in the College. We have therefore placed students into overlapping Sectional, Campus, Divisional and Departmental cohorts to ensure effective cohort building.
