This will equip you to become an outstanding doctor and one of the next generation of medical leaders. There continues to be considerable pressure on the available places for students wishing to study Medicine. Applications each year for our undergraduate medical programmes are around 5000 for a total of roughly 520 places. In the most recent admissions cycle, we received approximately 2,960 applications for 347 places. Around 1,200 applicants were interviewed. We aim to notify all applicants of final decisions by the end of May at the latest. Our MBBS degree aims to train students to become: • critical scientific thinkers • collaborative leaders and innovators • outstanding patient-centred clinicians • excellent team-players • educators and life-long learners • resilient and adaptable professionals. If considering applying to study medicine, we advise you check details in this website - GMC Outcomes for Graduates – that sets out the skills, procedures and levels of competence newly qualified doctors must have, so they can practice safely when they start work. The course is divided into three ‘Stages’ with an optional intercalation year between Stages 2 and 3. Although we offer multiple entry routes into Medicine, all our students follow the same core MBBS curriculum. Stage 1 provides you with a foundation in biomedical sciences and population sciences, along with the skills to begin to integrate them with clinical practice.
