Course Overview

This five-year program enables you to gain a Primary Medical Qualification and apply for provisional registration with the General Medical Council. With a focus on developing future doctors who have patient safety, reflection, and professionalism at the core of their practice, the MBChB involves early and extensive clinical placements with a focus on community and mental healthcare settings, as well as exposure to medicine, surgery and a range of hospital specialties. Theory and practice are integrated through a hybrid of case-based and team-based learning alongside extensive clinical skills and simulation training. Equipped with medical leadership skills, resilience, and an understanding of public health, you will graduate fully prepared for practice as a doctor ready to make a major contribution to the healthcare services of today and tomorrow.

General Eligibility

A Levels in General Studies, Critical Reasoning, Citizenship, and Key Skills will not be accepted.

You will also need at least five GCSEs at Grade B or Grade 6 or above (or equivalent) at the time of application, including Biology, Chemistry, English Language, and Mathematics. GCSE Double Science Awards, at Grades 6-6 or B-B or above, will also be accepted in lieu of separate GCSEs in Biology and Chemistry.
