Learn, work and grow alongside clinical practitioners at the forefront of healthcare innovation.

Your journey to becoming a doctor starts here.

The Leeds MBChB prepares you to enter clinical practice as a confident, holistic doctor, equipped with rigorous scientific knowledge, practical clinical skills and a deep understanding of patient care.

At Leeds, you’ll be welcomed into our community from day one – not just as a student, but as a future doctor.

What sets us apart is a seamless combination of outstanding academic learning and clinical practice. You’ll regularly interact with clinicians, patients and healthcare teams, gaining hands-on experience with placements from year one. Meaning you develop skills during practice, not just in the classroom.

Doctors and clinicians are integral to the Leeds teaching team. Actively working in a wide range of settings, they bring dynamic, real-world relevance to your learning with up-to-date insights from the front lines of healthcare.

The UK healthcare environment is rapidly evolving, and we prepare you to be an adaptable doctor, with a broad perspective on patient care and the confidence to lead change across sectors and specialisms.

“I personally really enjoyed the opportunity I had where a clinical educator was able to observe me carry out a history and exam with a patient on my ward. The one-to-one experience I received, with clear and instructive feedback from the clinical educator was invaluable to my learning experience.” Shiwei Ooi, MBChB Medicine and Surgery
