Starting any new course can be daunting, but with such an intensive four-year course, we make every effort to help you settle into your new lives, first as medical students and later as qualified doctors.

Acceptance afternoon

Those applicants definitely confirmed as having a place on the programme (i.e. unconditional offers) will be invited to an Acceptance afternoon the July before they start the course. This will allow them to meet other students before starting at WMS as well as collecting other relevant information such as accommodation, parking, Warwick Sport and a campus tour.

Induction week

Induction week is a time for new MB ChB students to familiarise themselves with each other, their surroundings and educational backgrounds. Students will be introduced to the structure of WMS and the wide range of support mechanisms available to them throughout their course. The WMS induction week is designed to introduce you to a new profession, not just onto the MB ChB course.

Induction week introduces you to the foundations of the subjects you will study at WMS, however it's not all hard work. A number of social events are arranged and time is set aside for students to explore sporting and other extra-curricular activities during the week.

Once you're accepted onto the programme, you will recieve your induction week timetable with details of specific sessions. Your induction week will include:

• Welcome BBQ
• Welcome from the Dean
• Things I Wish I’d Known on my First Day at Medical School (presented by F1 and F2 alumni)
• Welcome ball
