Facilities
We have new purpose-built facilities - among them the well-equipped Medical Teaching Centre, opened in 2002, where students are taught during the first part of the course.
Partner trusts
We use four hospital sites and approximately 50 GP practices in the Coventry and Warwickshire area to provide teaching during the 4 years. Our partner hospitals provide first class facilities for our students including purpose built education centres, study rooms and libraries.
Anatomy training
Learning human anatomy is a large part of training to be a doctor. Here at WMS, we offer cutting-edge anatomy training with state of the art plastinations and highly skilled lecturers.
Biomedical learning grid
We opened the Biomedical Learning Grid in 2006. This study resource is located on the ground floor of the Medical School Building and offers an alternative study space, whether you are studying in groups or as an individual and the opportunity to use a range of new technologies to support your learning experience, such as smart and clever boards.There is also a collection of key reference texts available.
Library
The University Library is situated on the central campus and is home to over 1 million books and journals. There are a range of study spaces including silent study and group study rooms, access to networked PCs, wireless access for laptops, interactive smart boards and a coffee bar.
The library subscribes to a range of electronic subject resources relevant to medicine as well a wide range of full text electronic journals. You can search most of these resources from wherever you have internet access – be that on campus or home.
There is a BioMedical Sciences subject librarian who can help you to make the most effective use of library resources and facilities, including help with literature searching, advice on referencing, advice on accessing electronic resources and using other libraries.
"I find the group work most enjoyable, as it gives us all time to think about the material we have been given in lectures"
