    Traditional Lecture Based Universities.
    I've been looking around at a few medical universities in the UK and was unclear on which universities use mainly large lecture based tutorials with seminars - like Cambridge or Oxford - rather than predominantly problem based learning that jump straight into clinical work.

    I'd really like to apply to another university with a similar teaching style to Cambridge as I found their lectures very enjoyable on a visiting day.

    Can anyone help recommend a few universities that use this teaching method, so I may investigate them further, as most university prospectuses simply say they incorporate both into their courses.

    Thanks in advance, (plus sorry if I've posted in the wrong thread)

    UCL... Imperial (less so)

    St Andrews I think? ( but don't quote me on that one.)

    Newcastle is predominantly lecture based in the pre-clinical years.
