Why Study Medicine at Corpus?

Corpus is a particularly strong College for Medicine. Its central location places it just a few minutes’ walk from the Downing Site, where many early lectures and practical classes take place,  making daily academic life simpler.

Medical students at Corpus benefit from frequent small‑group supervisions, especially in the first two years, usually arranged in groups of two or three. Much of this teaching is delivered by Fellows of the College, many of whom work in medical or biological disciplines and are closely involved in research as well as teaching.

Corpus medics form an energetic and well‑connected community. They’re often highly visible across College life — academically and socially. An important focus for this community is the Lewis Society of Medicine, which organises academic talks, social events and an annual dinner, helping to connect students across year groups and stages of the course.

What do we look for in applicants?

We’re looking for students who are highly motivated to study Medicine and who have thought carefully about what the course involves. Strong applicants typically show:

  • genuine enthusiasm for science and medicine
  • strong academic ability across multiple scientific subjects
  • curiosity about how the human body works
  • commitment, resilience and the ability to manage challenging workloads
  • a reflective approach to experiences related to healthcare or science

There’s no single “type” of applicant we’re looking for. What matters most is your readiness for a demanding scientific course and your motivation to engage seriously with Medicine as both an academic subject and a future profession.

Super‑curricular resources

We would encourage prospective applicants to invest time in exploring the field of medical science independently. We have put together a few suggestions below. This shouldn't be used as an exhaustive list; rather, these are some ideas of starting points.
