Medicine MBBS BSc

About

Course overview

Our goal is to educate 'The UCL Doctor'. A highly capable, and patient-centred clinician, equipped to practise medicine in a professional, inclusive, and sustainable way grounded in science and best practice.

The six-year integrated programme comprises a series of compulsory modules, designed to fulfil the General Medical Council's 'Outcomes for Graduates'.

You will have extensive clinical contact throughout, with patients and doctors, and other healthcare professionals, learning all about key health problems, clinical presentations and patient pathways.

Each year of study is themed to prepare you for clinical practice:

Year one: Fundamentals of Clinical Science 1
Year two: Fundamentals of Clinical Science 2
Year three: Integrated BSc
Year four: Integrated Clinical Care
Year five: The Life Cycle and Specialist Practice
Year six: Preparation for Practice.

UK graduates are exempt from the integrated BSc and will complete the programme in five years. Other students will study the course over six years, leading to the awards of Bachelor of Science (BSc) and Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS).

In addition to the modules in each year, Clinical and Professional Practice (CPP) runs throughout the MBBS programme. Students can also currently choose options during years one and two, as well as take a medical elective in year six.
