Medical students typically engage in both basic science and practical clinical coursework during their tenure in medical school. Course structure and length vary greatly among countries. Traditionally the course structure is divided into pre-clinical (year 1-3) and clinical part (year 3-6): the pre-clinical part of medical education includes theoretical learning in areas such as anatomy, physiology, ethics, psychology and biochemistry, the clinical one includes learning surgery, obstetrics and paediatrics.

During their course of studies medical students attend lectures and have practical classes in different subjects. They perform different laboratory works and attend dissecting room to gain deep knowledge of Anatomy. They go to the library to get ready for their classes.

Each academic year is usually divided into two terms. At the end of each term students have to take their module controls in most subjects.
