This one-year MSc in Advanced General Medical Practice has been designed to support international medical doctors who wish to gain a Master of Science postgraduate qualification and work in the UK. The UK needs you. There is a huge gap in the number of practising medical doctors in the UK. To fill this gap, we help qualified doctors to come to the UK and be able to practise medicine legally. International recruitment has been, and will remain, an essential pipeline for medical staffing in the NHS.

Research in our School of Life Sciences covers a wide spectrum of biology from genes to ecosystems, and this broad-based structure provides opportunities for developing novel ideas and inter-disciplinary projects. We offer supervision in all areas of staff expertise in molecular medicine and our research is at the basic-clinical interface and we employ a range of techniques for studying diseases at the molecular and cellular level. We have current projects on cancer and stem cell biology, viruses and infection, basic and reproductive immunology, translational and clinical proteomics, drug design, and genomics and computational biology. Many projects are in collaboration with the NHS and regional hospitals.

America is the global forerunner of chronic diseases. Germany follows. Our statistics show an increasing trend. Something has to be done. We need new approaches and tools! The new degree program “Preventive and Functional Medicine” expands the spectrum of modern possibilities. This course was successfully accredited at the end of 2021.
