BMS students are required to present weekly seminars in groups of approximately 5 students of varying relevant topics. These seminars are attended by their co-ordinator and a number of professors and academic staff members. Once the presentation has finished, the students and attendees all discuss the important aspects of what has been presented.

The first three years of study for the Medicine students, and the first 2 years of study of the dentistry students are all taught by the faculty of Basic Medical Sciences.
