An alternative route into medicine for life science graduates from backgrounds that are underrepresented in higher education. After a six-week introduction, you will join our standard MBChB programme in phase two and graduate in four years, rather than five.

Our MBChB Graduate Entry Medicine programme is for life science graduates who want to become a doctor and are from a background that is under-represented in higher education.

It is a shorter course, taught over four years rather than five and covers phases two, three and four of our standard MBChB medicine programme. Clinical placements and related teaching take place in hospitals and General Practices across Yorkshire and the surrounding areas.

You will start phase two with a six-week recap of phase one topics such as anatomy, histology and physiology. You will then start to build up your medical science knowledge by learning about disease symptoms, diagnosis and treatment, covering topics such as pathology, microbiology, immunology and pharmacology. You will continue to gain clinical skills (for example, taking blood from a patient), develop your understanding of medical law and ethics, and complete another set of ten placements in general practice.

Later in phase two, you will learn how to take patients’ histories and conduct physical examinations, as you begin to spend most of your time in hospital wards, operating theatres and outpatient clinics.

During phase three, you will continue to work in general practice during community placements, and complete hospital placements based on sub-specialities including children’s health (paediatrics), women’s health (obstetrics and gynaecology), mental health (psychiatry), critical and emergency care, and multiple other specialist areas. We also offer intercalation options that allow you to build up your research skills, develop your knowledge of surgical practice or complete a masters degree in a specialist topic.

Phase four begins with a programme of lectures to consolidate your clinical knowledge, and includes two more longitudinal placements to fully prepare you for a final clinical examination and life as a foundation doctor.

This course is not available to international students.
