Year 3: Final Honours School

Final Honours School (FHS)

For students undertaking the standard six-year medical course, their third year affords the opportunity to undertake a research project. This contributes to the Final Honours School (FHS) phase of their degree. The Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences offers a broad range of FHS projects, reflecting the diversity of the Department’s research interests.

Students choose their project during their second year. For students interested in working with one of the highly rated research groups in the Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences, please contact Dr Alison Convey at alison.convey@phc.ox.ac.uk during Year Two.
