Phases I, II and III

The five-year HYMS MB BS course is divided into three phases – Phase I, Phase II and Phase III.

  • Phase I covers the first two years of the course. You will be based either in Hull or in York for both years, undertaking blocks of learning in a problem-based learning group and benefiting from a wide range of innovative learning methods.

  • Phase II, which is Years 3 and 4, is largely spent on a series of eight-week clinical placements across the region in a variety of acute, primary and community healthcare settings – with continued access to computer-based university teaching resources.

  • Phase III covers the fifth and final undergraduate year, which provides extensive experience in medicine, surgery and primary care as well as a two-month elective and a period of shadowing a house officer.
