MBChB Medicine

Our MBChB Medicine programme is designed to equip you with the knowledge, skills, and hands-on experience needed for a successful medical career, with a strong emphasis on working compassionately with patients and multi-disciplinary medical teams.
You’ll gain experience in real clinical settings through a series of clinical placements each year and develop a wide range of skills and a broad knowledge base.
Our patient-focused curriculum is taught over five years in two phases. It starts by expanding and deepening your existing science education, covering topics such as the fundamentals of body structure, infection and pathological processes. As you move into the second phase, a large proportion of your learning will take place in clinical environments where you will work with practising doctors and healthcare professionals in clinical placements ranging from cancer care to integrated medicine.
Beyond medical knowledge, we’ll help you grow into a confident, independent thinker with the critical thinking skills and empathy needed to thrive as a future doctor. After graduation, you'll be fully prepared to take on your first role as a Foundation Doctor.

• GCSE (or equivalent) qualifications: The requirement is a minimum of six GCSEs/IGCSEs at grade B/grade 6 or above, which must include English Language, Mathematics, Chemistry, Biology or Double Science (or international equivalent).
• UCAT (University Clinical Aptitude Test): We require all applicants to take the UCAT in 2025 for 2026 entry. This will be considered alongside the other required qualifications.
