The National Health Service (NHS) & UK Foundation Programme
As a Brunel medical student, you’ll be learning medicine in one of the most famous healthcare organisations in the world – The National Health Service (NHS). The experience gained here will help prepare you for entry to the two-year UK Foundation Programme. All Brunel Medical School graduates are eligible to apply to the UK Foundation Programme.
Entry onto this programme requires an applicant to have the right to work in the UK and places on the programme are not guaranteed for every UK graduate. If successful and able to join the UK Foundation Programme, you will be a salaried junior doctor, of which the first year (FY1) is the starting point for pursuing a medical career in the UK and is also an excellent preparation for careers overseas.
Up-to-date & innovative curriculum
We take an evidence-based innovative approach to learning and teaching. The Medicine MBBS curriculum has been produced by leading academics and clinicians working in partnership to provide the latest insights into medical advances and clinical practice.
You will be well prepared to practise medicine in the modern world. Changes in medical practice are accelerating, driven by molecular sciences, a greater understanding of the demographic variations in health and illness and of the specific needs of individual patients.
Our curriculum incorporates digital technologies to enhance the way you learn and the environment that you learn in and provides patient contact right from year 1

Team-based Learning (TBL)
Brunel Medical School is among the few medical schools in the world to use TBL as the main method of classroom teaching instead of lectures. Working in teams of six in our purpose-designed TBL classroom, you exchange ideas and refine your understanding of the topics through discussions.
With this active-learning approach, you solve problems and debate whilst developing life-long, transferable skills - highly relevant to medicine, under the guidance of clinicians and scientists.
Our programmatic approach to assessment with academic coaching means that you are kept informed of your progress all through the early years, and you receive regular feedback to help you improve your learning.

Diverse student population
You will learn and work with students from all over the world. The Medical School student body already has over 50 countries represented, with a mix of undergraduates and graduates.
Clinical and communication skills
Emphasis on the development of communications skills and clinical skills from Year 1 is demonstrated by dedicated spaces, in particular a suite of 18 video-equipped consultations rooms and the use of trained simulated patients as well as skills laboratories and simulated wards.
Simulation technology, manikins, virtual reality and augmented reality will also feature in your educational journey, and your learning will be enhanced by frequent feedback from your peers and from our educators.
Early patient contact
In parallel with the clinical and communication skills learned on campus, from early on in Year 1 you will also learn about patient care from supervised interactions with real patients, through regular placements in general practice (family medicine) clinics.
You will learn to appreciate healthcare and illness from the patient’s perspective and understand how teams of professionals work together and make a difference to people’s lives.
Student support service
Studying medicine can at times be challenging and being far from home in an unfamiliar environment can make things more difficult. At Brunel we provide an unrivalled support system to build your resilience and help you cope with any stress or concerns.
All students are supported by our dedicated Student Support and Wellbeing team who make sure that any issue is addressed rapidly and sympathetically.
Our School House system creates a home away from home where students are supported by their peers and expert tutors provide academic coaching to students.

Clinical placements
Clinical placements, which range from hospitals to primary care (family medicine) and community settings, account for a significant portion of the course. Primary care placements start early in Year 1, and placements in hospitals start in Year 3.
Our west London location means that you have access to a hugely diverse patient population and will have the opportunity to work in major hospitals, some of which are globally renowned.

State-of-the-art facilities

Please note. From 2024, all UK medical school students will be required to pass the MLA in order to practise as FY1 doctors. International medical graduates will also need to pass the MLA in order to practise in the UK.
USMLE and MCCQE support and guidance
Some of you may wish to pursue your medical careers in Canada or the USA. The Brunel MBBS course is aimed to train you for UK practice, but we will provide advice about USMLE and MCCQE assessments including approved preparatory resources, including review texts, practice question banks and online courses.

General Medical Council (GMC)
All medical schools are periodically reviewed by the UK General Medical Council (GMC), the body responsible for ensuring that medical education and training is of a high standard and that all medical schools meet the requirements set out in Promoting excellence: standards for medical education and training.
In addition, as a new Medical School, Brunel Medical School is subject to scrutiny through stages of the GMC’s rigorous quality assurance process. We have completed key stages of this process to date, and we will continue to be closely reviewed by the GMC until the programme has been successfully delivered and the final-stage approval for the award of the MBBS degrees is granted.
During the period of close review, the GMC requires all new medical schools to have a contingency school to partner with the new school and provide regular support. The University of Buckingham Medical School is Brunel Medical School’s contingency school.
The list of new medical schools under GMC review can be found here.
The GMC's Medical Students web page will help new and returning students to understand:
- the role of the GMC and what it means to join a regulated profession
- the guidance on offer
- how to keep up-to-date via newsletters and social media.
