The University of BirminghamMedicalSchool is one of Britain's largest and oldest medicalschools with a yearly undergraduate intake of 450 students.
BirminghamMedicalSchool was founded in 1825 by William Sands Cox, who began by teaching medical students in his father's house in Birmingham.
In 1843 the medicalschool became Queen's College, and students became eligible to be considered for medical degrees awarded by the University of London
The Hull York MedicalSchool (HYMS) is a medicalschool in England which took its first intake of students in 2003.
The school was opened as a part of the British Government's attempts (under the Labour Party) to train more doctors, which also saw Brighton and Sussex MedicalSchool, Peninsula MedicalSchool and Keele University MedicalSchool open their doors.
This has been praised by the General Medical Council and students alike, who see the vocational nature of the course one of the most exciting parts of their medical education.
