About Us
At Queen Mary University of London, we believe that a diversity of ideas helps us achieve the previously unthinkable. Throughout our history, we’ve fostered social justice and improved lives through academic excellence. And we continue to live and breathe this spirit today, not because it’s simply ‘the right thing to do’ but what it helps us achieve and the intellectual brilliance it delivers.
The Institute of Health Sciences Education (IHSE) is one of six institutes that forms the Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry (FMD). IHSE are responsible for the delivery of the faculty’s medical degree programmes, including the MBBS which is one of the largest undergraduate medical degree programmes in the UK. The Clinical and Communication Skills Unit (CCSU) is a purpose-built facility enabling students across the healthcare professions, to develop a range of anatomical, clinical and communication skills in simulated supportive environments. You will be joining us at an exciting time of innovation and curriculum reform across the flagship MBBS programme.
