Reading University also says the youngsters will have to carry out mock medical examinations on each other — so must obtain consent before touching.

Under a section marked “trigger warnings”, the course booklet highlights “topics that some people may find challenging.”

It adds: “Every week will include potentially graphic images or videos showing the human body, as well as content on specific health conditions or diseases/death.”

And it even goes on to say that those “uncomfortable” with touching others “can either observe or work on their own body”.

“When they do this in real life, after graduating, it only means they’ll be even more shocked.
