The Final Year Elective gives students the opportunity of undertaking a period of study, or clinical experience, in an area of medicine that is of particular interest to them.
Objectives of the Elective 'project' are to demonstrate the ability to:
Students can take this opportunity to gain experience in different environments from their other undergraduate studies.
Self-directed learning with support from a supervising academic.
Detailed Elective Plan: Students submit their plan for their elective studies in writing, explaining their aims and objectives. This is marked by the elective lead and must be passed as satisfactory. Also, each host elective supervisor completes a Supervisor’s Report at the end of each placement, which again must confirm satisfactory completion of the placement and placement objectives
If this unit has a Resource List, you will normally find a link to it in the Blackboard area for the unit. Sometimes there will be a separate link for each weekly topic.
If you are unable to access a list through Blackboard, you can also find it via the Resource Lists homepage. Search for the list by the unit name or code (e.g. MEDI35110).
How much time the unit requires
Each credit equates to 10 hours of total student input. For example a 20 credit unit will take you 200 hours
of study to complete. Your total learning time is made up of contact time, directed learning tasks,
independent learning and assessment activity.
See the Faculty workload statement relating to this unit for more information.
Assessment
The Board of Examiners will consider all cases where students have failed or not completed the assessments required for credit.
The Board considers each student's outcomes across all the units which contribute to each year's programme of study. If you have self-certificated your absence from an
assessment, you will normally be required to complete it the next time it runs (this is usually in the next assessment period).
The Board of Examiners will take into account any extenuating circumstances and operates
within the Regulations and Code of Practice for Taught Programmes.
