Medicine

"In Year 2 we revisited and enhanced our knowledge of normal physiology and anatomy from first year and utilised it to understand the mechanisms of diseases. Every week, we worked through a different clinical cases within our Problem-Based Learning (PBL) group. Each case challenged us to develop our skills in learning to work effectively as a team in order to reach a diagnosis. The atmosphere here, and especially within PBL groups, felt nothing but supportive. Often you would find medical students in groups around the campus studying, sharing resources and helping each other learn. In addition, the staff were always approachable and keen to answer any of our questions."

"I graduated from Keele University in the summer of 2018, and since then I have worked as a foundation doctor in the University Hospital of North Midlands. I chose Keele after the experience of the interviews. Despite it being an incredibly stressful day, I found the campus and staff so warm and welcoming that I knew it was the university for me. The structure of the course gave me a solid base of physiology and anatomy, while giving me the opportunity to see it in action in clinical scenarios from the beginning."

"In first year we focused on learning the fundamentals of anatomy and physiology, which lays the foundations for the following years of the course. We have weekly Problem-Based Learning (PBL) groups in which we work through a patient’s case study. This simulates what we could see in clinical practice. The content taught during the week progressed our knowledge and made it relevant to real life scenarios."
