This
seminar will provide a valuable insight into an important aspect of the
MBBS curriculum. Integrating our BSc strengthens the research focus
of, and scientific basis behind, the medical programme at UCLMS.
It is frequently cited by applicants to UCL as an important reason why they apply here. Please join us for this stimulating and interesting lunchtime seminar on the 10th March.
