Course info

This four-year accelerated programme is designed for graduates of any discipline who wish to train as a doctor, and others whose prior professional experience qualifies them for entry. During Phase I, you learn through case-led teaching, with clinical cases used to ensure a problem-first, task-based focus. In Phase II, you are integrated into a single common pathway alongside undergraduate students on our five-year course.
