Faculty of Medicine
The Faculty of Medicine, Warwick Medical School, comprises three institutes, Clinical Education (ICE), Clinical Sciences (CSRI) and Health Sciences (HSRI).
The Faculty is based largely on Gibbet Hill campus, overlooking Tocil Wood. The MB ChB Directorate, part of ICE, occupies a purpose-built Medical Teaching Centre at the centre of the site, with close connections to Biological Sciences. Although Warwick Medical School (WMS) does not offer undergraduate degrees in medicine, it is the largest graduate-entry medical school in the UK. In 2009, a new Surgical Training Centre was opened alongside a new Clinical Trials Unit.
Warwick Medical School
WMS is an internationally recognized institution that is undertaking world-class calibre research, as evidenced by its performance in the last Research Assessment Exercise (RAE), when it was ranked 10th in the UK for the quality of Health Services Research. WMS' strategic research themes are underpinned by multi-disciplinary, low-boundary and inter-related Research Networks and they collaborate extensively with the Department of Biological Sciences
at the University of Warwick.
Clinical Sciences Research Institute
The CSRI has a large research presence on the site of the major regional University Hospital at Walsgrave in Coventry. The new building houses state of the art laboratory facilities for use in clinical sciences research, and there is a regular and accessible bus service on a frequent basis going between Warwick campus and Walsgrave Hospital.
Now it is time to take a break from study to look into a bit of extracurricular culture…let’s visit the Warwick Arts Centre.
