The majority of Wadham’s undergraduate (pre-clinical) medical students choose to stay at Wadham as graduate (clinical) medical students, and become members of the MCR. We also welcome postgraduate students in medically related disciplines who come to read masters or doctoral degrees in subjects ranging from the Basic Medical Sciences through to Clinical Medicine, and students in the Doctoral Training Centres for Biomedical Engineering and Computational Biology. Wadham has an active Medical Society where undergraduate, graduate students and alumni from diverse biomedical backgrounds meet and exchange ideas and socialise.
Further information about studying graduate courses in Medical Sciences can be found here.
Wadham College Medical Society
The College has an active Medical Society run by our students. There is also a senior section of the society, run principally by the old members who take an interest and raise money to subsidise social activities and travel grants.
The Tutors

Andrew is a Respiratory Physiologist and teaches Physiology and Pharmacology. His research group works on the area of biomedical engineering, developing novel intravascular sensors and analytical techniques to detect and monitor disordered physiology of the respiratory and cardiovascular systems in the critically ill. It is funded by the Wellcome Trust, the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council and the National Institute of Health Research. He is head of the Nuffield Department of Anaesthetics and also a practicing consultant anaesthetist.
Prof Monika Gullerova
