As the deadline approaches for the UCAT, now is the time to decide where you want to study. Take a look at our top 5 reasons for choosing Robinson for Medicine:
1. Learn from world-leading clinicians 
At Robinson, your studies will be led by academics and clinicians who are at the forefront of new research and innovative new treatments. Our Directors of Studies include renowned neurosurgeon Professor Peter Hutchinson (pictured below) and leading medical oncologist Dr Bristi Basu (pictured left). Find out more about their work.
2. Innovative teaching and learning
Medicine at Robinson combines a rigorous academic programme with innovative approaches that help students connect scientific knowledge with clinical practice from an early stage. For example, our pre-clinical and clinical “linker” sessions allow our students to work through simulated real-life clinical scenarios, developing the skills and confidence needed for later clinical training.
3. Broaden your experience beyond the curriculum
Robinson believes that becoming an outstanding doctor involves much more than passing exams. Through opportunities such as the Dr Alex Yui Hui Studentships, pre-clinical students can receive funding of up to £2,000 to undertake research projects, clinical internships and summer work placements to gain practical experience in the field.
4. Financial support for fifth-year electives
Robinson medics receive a grant towards their fifth-year electives via the Chaffield Shaw Medical Support Fund and the Fox-Nasim Elective Studentship. This allows our students to pursue areas of interest in medicine around the world without financial barriers limiting their choices.
5. Join our welcoming and collaborative community
From matriculation to graduation and beyond, Robinson offers a friendly and inclusive environment where medics thrive. Find out more about taking Medicine at Robinson and sign up to attend our Open Day on Friday 11 September 2026, where you'll have the chance to meet current students, academics and admissions staff.
