Electives
Elective placements

The University of Oxford Medical School is able to offer up to 50 elective placements to non-Oxford students per academic year (September – August). Any clinical medical student from any country (including the UK) is eligible to apply.




Courses in Medicine
Oxford offers two courses in Medicine, both leading to the same qualification: Bachelor of Medicine and Surgery (BM, BCh).
A six year course for
those with the necessary A level or equivalent qualifications; or
graduates with a degree (including humanities). Graduates may complete this course in five years by omitting the third year.
This course is in two stages: a three-year course studying medical sciences, leading to a BA normally in Medical Sciences, and a three year clinical course. Entry to the second stage, the Clinical Course, is competitive.
A four year course for
graduates with a bioscience or chemistry degree.
This is an intensive course, the first two terms focus on the medical sciences with clinical training throughout. The final two years of the course are the same as the fifth and sixth years of the six year course.
Both courses...
... place a strong emphasis on science. During the first few years, you will be expected to acquire an understanding of the basic mechanisms of diseases and to develop an enquiring approach to your study. This foundation will equip you with the necessary skills required during your clinicial training and troughout your medical career as you evaluate advances in medical practice.
Mature students
Mature applicants are welcomed. As a mature applicant you will need to meet the entry requirements in addition to any other qualifications that you may offer.
Overseas applicants
The Medical School is able to offer up to seven places to overseas students in accordance with a nationally set medical student quota. No student is offered a place without an interview and overseas candidates will be expected to come to Oxford to attend an interview in December.

What makes a good doctor?
What makes a good doctor?
Clearly someone who communicates well, empathises with patients and exercises sound clinical judgement. But a doctor should also understand the basic mechanisms of disease, be able to test hypotheses and show curiosity and a capacity for self-directed learning. Teaching reinforces these scientific principles and an Oxford doctor is trained to be a good scientist as well as a good clinician and a clear thinker.

Arcadia University: Study at Oxford University
England

Oxford: Oxford Term: Academic Year, Fall, Spring Dates: September to December; September to June

Description: Founded in the 10th century, Oxford University is the oldest English-speaking University in the world. Composed of 39 distinctive, self-managing colleges, Oxford provides a singular academic experience for the competitive student. Your studies will be driven by your intellectual interests and will require a significant amount of self-motivation and curiosity. You will be able to study in the sciences, social sciences or arts at one of three colleges: St. Annes, St. Edmunds, or Lady Margaret Hall. Each college has its own unique character which has been shaped by centuries of history and tradition. While the range of courses offered is broad, you will be expected to focus on a couple of subjects in depth.


Each College offers its own library, teaching staff, housing accommodations and student societies, as well as social, and sport and recreation facilities. You will be fully integrated into the academic and social life of the College you attend, and will be housed in a single study-bedroom in a College-operated residence that includes shared kitchen and bathroom facilities.


You'll find that Oxford students pursue their social activities with the same, or perhaps, more diligence than they do their studies. For such a serious academic community, theres a wonderful exuberance in the city of Oxford.
