Medicine and Life Sciences will introduce you to new research techniques and subject content. You will also gain hands-on clinical skills and learn from health professionals in practical workshops at an Imperial affiliated institution St Mary's Hospital.
The Global Summer School Medicine and Life Sciences 2025 sample timetable contains the full academic programme and social activities. This timetable is subject to change.
In 2025, students will:
- Conduct practical experiments, collect and analyse data.
- Spend a day learning real clinical skills.
- Encounter new concepts and systems in lecture-led teaching sessions.
- Work as part of a team to analyse case studies and construct a genogram.
- Develop your understanding of molecular biology theory and practice through a range of practical activities.
