Brunel Medical School (BMS) opened its doors to the first class of students taking a 5-year undergraduate degree in Medicine leading to the award of Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS). BMS are among the few medical schools in the world to use Team-based Learning (TBL) as the main method of classroom instruction, replacing traditional lectures with structured team-centred activities that help you learn, discuss and remember the necessary knowledge.
We teach and train 4000 students and have around 300 academic and professional and support staff in the College. Our vision is to be a College that is distinguished by excellence in education and the learning experience, that conducts world leading research, and ensures its activities have a real impact on human health. The CHMLS Educational Excellence Hub brings together all staff to bring this vision to life.
