Overview
The programme is taught at Queen Mary International Clinical Academy, a world-class academy specialising in clinical postgraduate education for international students.
You'll be taught through a combination of expert seminars, supervised clinical placements, one-to-one tutorials, self-directed learning, case presentations and reading. In addition to the formal seminar and clinical programme, time is set aside for readings and reviews, discussion and problem-solving for student research projects, for innovative practical exercises, clinical audit and for feedback and evaluation of the course itself. Time is spent working alongside hospital trainees.
Your individual study time could be spent preparing for, or following up on, formal study sessions, reading, producing written work, completing projects and dissertations.
The direction of your individual study will be guided by the formal study sessions you attend, along with your reading lists and assignments. You will receive a course reading list at the start of teaching and with each module.
You will be assigned an Academic Adviser who will guide you in both academic and pastoral matters throughout your time at Queen Mary. You will also be assigned two staff members to supervise your research project.
