Medicine (Graduate Entry) (MBBS 4YFT)

About

Course overview

Study at an innovative new medical school embedded in the communities of Cumbria, with learning opportunities across the region.

The bespoke programme blends expertise from the highly rated medical school at Imperial College London, with the University of Cumbria's longstanding reputation in training allied healthcare professionals.

You will gain early exposure to clinical practice alongside research-informed medical sciences teaching. You will also complete a community-based project on a topic of interest to you, linked with prevention and healthcare delivery. Clinical skills training and multi-professional collaborative learning will occur across the 4-year programme.

A professional development tutoring programme will support your academic progress and career development. You will be allocated a tutor with clinical experience in Cumbria and be given access to resources to structure your learning.

You will need to be a home student with at least an upper second-class science or allied healthcare degree to be considered. Successful students will graduate with an MBBS awarded by Imperial College London.

To encourage applications from groups less well represented in medicine and as part of our commitment to widening access, this 4-year graduate programme does not have any GCSE or A-level requirements.

Admissions Test (GAMSAT or UCAT)

All applicants are required to meet a minimum threshold score in either the Graduate Medical School Admissions Test (GAMSAT) or the University Clinical Aptitude Test (UCAT).

The GAMSAT must be taken within the two years prior to the applicant's UCAS submission date. The UCAT must be taken in the same year as the applicant's UCAS submission date. The results will be made available to the admissions team in the November prior to the applicant's intended entry to the programme.

Please note: that UCAT scores for 2025 will be different due to the removal of the abstract reasoning section.

This means that the test scores will have a lower maximum total cognitive score (2700 rather than 3600). This is likely to have an impact on the UCAT scores used in our admissions process so please bear that in mind when looking at the admissions information or 2026-27 admissions on the website.

Admissions requirement

Applicants who do not apply for the correct sitting by the required date will not be considered.
