Women in Science. As of 2017 Warwick Medical School holds an Athena SWAN bronze award. Teaching The Warwick MBChB Warwick offers a four-year Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MB ChB) for graduates. Applicants must have an upper second-class degree or a lower second-class degree along with a masters at a Merit or above. Year one is delivered through largely university-based teaching, including integrated clinical exposure in various settings. Students are allocated to small learning groups for Case-Based Learning sessions made up of around ten students of different backgrounds and experiences. Year two gradually increases the amount of time spent learning in health care settings, so that students become immersed in community and hospital-based clinical teaching. In years three and four, the majority of learning is based in the community and in hospitals through the school’s partner trusts. The majority of the clinical placements are in three hospitals; University Hospital Coventry and Warwickshire (UHCW), Warwick Hospital and George Eliot Hospital. Placements are also provided in primary and community care settings, ranging from GP practices to outreach projects and mental health services in the local area. The admissions procedure for the MB ChB course begins with an application through UCAS. Prospective students must also take the UK Clinical Aptitude Test (UKCAT) in the year preceding their application. A proportion of applicants are invited to a selection centre. Successful applicants are then selected based on their performance at the selection centre. From 2018 entry onwards, the MB ChB course has an intake of 193 full-time students each year.
