Study Medicine, Dentistry and Veterinary Science in the UK

Anglia Foundation has sent students to Britain to do the following medical courses:

MEDICINE

-At the University of Edinburgh

Medicine is one of the most challenging but rewarding careers you can choose.

Medical science has expanded over the past few decades and there are now more than 50 areas of medicine ranging across, for example, clinical practice, research, psychiatry, surgery and general practice.

Medicine at the University of Edinburgh is based on a long tradition of teaching and offers a modern and innovative curriculum to prepare doctors to meet the challenges of practising medicine in the 21st century.

In addition to other areas, the Medicine degree programme focuses on four major areas: clinical skills, personal and professional development; public health; pharmacology and therapeutics; and the psychological aspects of medicine.

-At the University of Dundee

In Dundee you have the opportunity to study medicine in a fully integrated medical school and hospital with extensive teaching and research facilities, which serve both teaching and clinical needs. Ninewells Hospital and Medical School is the centre of many areas of pioneering research in cancer, keyhole surgery, heart disease, drug development, and medical education.

You will be part of a caring community providing healthcare for Tayside, Fife, and further afield, and have access to a wide range of facilities including lecture theatres, teaching laboratories, library, integrated self-teaching area, computer suite and a leading Clinical Skills Centre. A new education facility is being built on the Ninewells Hospital site which will further enhance the quality of the teaching.

DENTISTRY

-At the University of Glasgow

Glasgow Dental Hospital & School is located in the centre of Glasgow with up-to-date facilities for patient care, student clinical practice and training, and education and research in dental and oral diseases and disorders.

• Dentistry at Glasgow is ranked equal second in the UK for student satisfaction, with our students reporting satisfaction levels of 96% (Unistats 2010).
• 98% of the Dentistry graduates are either in work or further study (Unistats 2010).
• Dentistry research at Glasgow is rated in the top ten in the UK, according to the most recent independent survey of research quality (RAE 2008).

The BDS curriculum produces dental practitioners who are highly skilled, reflective and caring, and who are capable of making a major contribution to the health of the communities in which they will work.

-At Queen’s University Belfast

The Dental Course at Queen’s is seen as one of the most progressive in the UK and has always been recognised for its high teaching standards. Dental graduates from Queen’s have made a marked impact on national and international dentistry.

Dentistry at Queen's has been responsible for delivering dental education in Northern Ireland since 1920. It has been situated at its current site since 1965 and underwent a significant expansion in 1994. A full refurbishment is underway which will ensure that dental students at Queen's have access to the most modern clinical facilities of any UK Dental School.

The course is based on the requirements of the UK General Dental Council (GDC) and was rated number one in UK by the Times Good University Guide in 2008.

VETERINARY SCIENCE

-At Liverpool University

Veterinary and Bioveterinary Science and their allied subjects are amongst the most popular degree programmes in the UK and arguably amongst the most exciting. With the ever-expanding understanding of animal physiology and disease come greater opportunities to extend the boundaries of research, development and intervention, and the chance not only to improve animal health and welfare, but to share the results of our pioneering work with the University's colleagues in human medicine.

There is no doubt that the global demand for animal scientists will remain strong and will increase dramatically as affluence, and a concurrent increase in pet ownership, spreads across the globe. With travel and trade, the globe shrinks and new disease threats increasingly become realities. At Liverpool we have created a dynamic, forward-thinking environment to keep our school at the forefront of technology and research. The University's aim is to produce graduates who are able to respond to the changing demands of the animal world.

-At Bristol University

The Bristol School of Veterinary Science has been training veterinary surgeons for over 60 years and has excellent links with the veterinary profession. Highly rated for its teaching provision, including state-of-the-art pre-clinical and clinical facilities, the school is also recognised for international excellence in research, resulting in a programme recognised for its strength in research-led teaching. A Veterinary Science degree equips you for a career as a veterinary surgeon but it also provides some of the best broad-based training available in the biological sciences.
