The MBChB Medicine degree prepares you to meet the knowledge, skills, and professionalism expected of all new doctors as they begin their careers. The course is fully approved by the General Medical Council (GMC) following a successful quality assurance process. You’ll study in a modern, forward-thinking environment using a spiral curriculum and problem-based learning. Each year builds on the last, helping you develop independent thinking, problem-solving, clear communication, and a deep understanding of the wider social, environmental, and global context of healthcare. We’re partnered with three hospital trusts, two mental health trusts, community services, and 63 GP practices, and have five dedicated
Directors of Undergraduate Clinical Studies. You'll also learn alongside biomedical, sports and physiological scientists; pharmacists; nurses; and paramedics – preparing you for interdisciplinary teamwork. Medicine is a diverse profession with a wide range of career paths. Through strong clinical placements and a supportive learning environment, you’ll graduate with a solid foundation in general and social sciences and extensive patient contact in both hospital and GP settings. You’ll gain insight into the health needs of diverse communities and patients’ experiences within the NHS. At the end of the course, you’ll receive a GMC-approved Primary Medical Qualification (PMQ), allowing you to apply for provisional GMC registration and a license to practise medicine in the UK, provided there are no fitness to practise concerns. All UK medical students must also pass the GMC’s Medical Licensing Assessment (MLA), which tests the core knowledge, skills, and behaviours required for safe practice. The MLA is built into your degree and must be passed to join the UK medical register. It ensures a consistent standard for all new doctors, giving patients and employers confidence in your training – no matter where it took place.
Please note-
this course is only open to home fee paying applicants, fee assessment is made at point of applying where this requirement must be met.
