Uclan medicine

Can current medical students at UCLAN give a brief overview of what each year in medical school has been like so far. I want to hear how you feel about work load, what you love and hate about the course :smile:

Hi @Haehyira,

Thank you for your message and patience. My apologies for the delayed response. Unfortunately, our MBBS student ambassador has graduated but I can give you some more information. I would recommend attending our Open Day in August 17 if you are able to. It's a great way to speak to current students, lecturers and ask any questions you may have. Our August Open Day is your last chance to speak to our tutors before the October UCAS deadline for MBBS. You can find out more info about the open day and book your place here: Undergraduate Open Day at Preston Campus - Aug 2025

I have found a little snippet from a previous thread that one of our MBBS students answered on here: "When it comes to the academic side of studying medicine at UCLan, it can be tough but it is definitely worth it in the end! Medicine at UCLan is currently split into 2 phases - Phase 1 (years 1 and 2) which is your pre-clinical phase and Phase 2 (years 3,4 and 5) which is your clinical phase.
In preclinical a lot of your week is spent learning the theory side of medicine, learning examination skills and attending workshops. You also get early patient contact right from Year 1 where you will have a couple of weeks of placement."

There is also more information on the modules and structure here: Medicine & Surgery Degree, MBBS at UCLan

Do let us know if you have nay further questions 🙂
Best wishes, ^Zac
