Medicine BSc

The School of Medicine, Dentistry and Biomedical Sciences has close ties with the Northern Ireland community as part of its educational, research and outreach programmes. Our ‘Patients as Partners’ make a valuable contribution to the education of medical students, through their participation in the selection of medical students to the programme, teaching sessions, as well as assessments.

Queen’s medical students are welcomed in all of the hospitals within the region and in over 150 general practices. Students comment on the ease of access to high quality clinical teaching.

Our course will provide you with all the opportunities you need to become a caring and compassionate doctor, critical thinker, problem solver and reflective practitioner with excellent clinical skills who values, above all else, service to patients.
