Medicine - Graduate Entry Programme (4 year)

Fascinated by the human body? Driven to shape the future of healthcare? Ready to make a difference to countless lives? Prepare for a rewarding career as a qualified doctor by studying at one of the oldest medical schools in the UK.

You'll develop foundational knowledge and skills, as well as the fundamentals of professional practice behaviours necessary for being a new doctor.

Our curriculum is underpinned by our world-leading bench to bedside research, linking your learning to the work of the faculty, who pioneer the discovery and development of new drugs globally, through to design and delivery of effective public health interventions for our local community and beyond.

Because you already have a degree, you’ll be able to complete this programme in four years, rather than the standard five years. This means you’ll be able to finish sooner and kickstart your career in medicine.

We're excited to announce that Health Education England have funded a project for the Graduate Entry Programme to enhance content delivery with a blended approach, utilising bespoke premium digital content alongside active and social learning principles.

Confident in clinical scenarios

Expect evidence-based educational approaches whether for small or large group teaching, and focus on developing your self-regulated learning ability necessary for independent clinical practice.

You’ll start seeing patients from your very first week, in community and hospital settings, across all years of the course.

You can also self-select modules where you have interest or passion, from the fundamental or clinical sciences through to the psychological or social sciences as well as any area of study you want to pursue with our support in order to become the doctor you want to be.

Join us at Queen Mary University London to become part of the next generation of doctors and enter the world of medicine with confidence.
