State-of-the-art facilities

The school provides an ideal learning environment for undergraduates within state-of-the-art facilities.

Students can take advantage of the custom built Walton Library and Resource Centre equipped with books, journals and computers. This also provides areas to study practical skills and is accessible during term time on a 24/7 basis. There are dedicated areas for developing and practising crucial clinical skills.

Students are encouraged to manage their own development with the help of skilled facilitators. The programme not only develops the knowledge required for practice as a doctor, but also the desired skills and attitudes.

The Medical Fund has bought the School of Medicine two prosthetics for students to use for self-study at weekends and evenings in the run up to examinations.  Most of the time, the students have to use old teaching models or assessment models as the newer models are used in the classrooms under supervision.  Thanks to this money, the students will be able to self-study on newer, more up-to-date models.
