The Institute of Translational Medicine (ITM) works across the Medical School, University and with external stakeholders to unlock the impact potential of research and to accelerate the delivery of practical human health benefits through new therapeutics, process innovation, devices and diagnostics.

WMS is the UK leader for graduate entry medicine. With over a 26% market share, we also have some of the very best graduate outcomes in the country.

We have expanded our education portfolio to include two innovative undergraduate courses: MSci Integrated Natural Sciences and BSc Health and Medical Sciences.


Our portfolio of postgraduate programmes aims to provide excellent education and continued professional development for healthcare professionals across a number of areas, including advanced clinical and critical care practice, diabetes, leadership, medical education, interdisciplinary biomedical research, public health and health research.
