Medicine, Health and Innovation

Over two weeks, students explore anatomy, physiology, cardio-pulmonary systems, medical communication, patient history taking, clinical reasoning, infection, outbreak investigation, medical ethics, public health, emergency medicine, global health systems and future healthcare innovation.

Students learn through university-style seminars, practical workshops, clinical case discussions, ethical debates, group tasks and guided project work. Sessions help students apply medical ideas safely while building communication, reasoning and presentation confidence. As part of their course, students develop a healthcare-focused project, such as a clinical case analysis, public health campaign or innovation idea, then present their findings in the Sapphire Innovation Showcase.

Upon completion, students are awarded a completion certificate, subject-specific tutor report and Masterclass feedback outlining progress, engagement and next steps.

Beyond the classroom, students will enjoy a wide range of extracurricular activities that run from morning to night - from lively evening socials to moments of quiet reflection. They’ll hear from inspiring guest speakers, visit another university campus, take part in multiple excursions across the UK designed to complement both the academic and cultural experience, and engage in shared activities with peers from around the world. Students will also have the opportunity to explore the historic city of Bath, discovering its heritage from Roman bathhouses to elegant Georgian crescents.

Students will stay in premium, en-suite university accommodation and use professional-standard teaching spaces, from engineering labs and design studios to bright, purpose built lecture halls. Just a stones throw away from the city centre, the campus is set on 200 acres of parkland with panoramic views over the UNESCO World Heritage city of Bath.
