Course Delivery and Structure
The first year at the University of Warwick medical school is intense and primarily lecture-based. However, they also incorporate case-based learning (CBL), where students meet twice a week to discuss patient case studies related to the week's lectures. The CBL groups are diverse, comprising students from various backgrounds and degrees, which leads to rich discussions from different perspectives. The cohort size is about 190 students.
