Update 2 June 2025: Programme paused

This programme has been paused to applicants and we will not be recruiting for entry in September 2026. As an alternative, we would like to recommend our multidisciplinary Biomedical Sciences programmes.  

Biomedical Sciences programmes at Edinburgh are in the areas of Anatomy & Development, Biomedical Sciences, Infectious Disease, Neuroscience, Pharmacology and Reproductive Biology. These programmes cover a broad range of topics across human health and disease, and many of the courses delivered within the Medical Sciences curriculum are integrated into this Biomedical portfolio.
