This six-year programme includes an integrated BSc (except for graduate entrants with UK degrees), leading to the awards of Bachelor of Science (BSc) and Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS). The curriculum is centred on key health problems, clinical presentations and patient pathways. You will have clinical contact throughout, with patients and doctors.

The MBBS is accredited by the General Medical Council (GMC) as a Primary Medical Qualification.

In each year of your degree you will take a number of core modules: Year 1 and 2 each carry 120 credits and Year 4-6 each carry 180 credits, awarded on the basis of the end of year assessments. Although a 30-credit module is considered equivalent to 15 credits in the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS), MBBS modules are not currently transferrable.

The goal of the MBBS programme at UCL is to educate 'The UCL Doctor': a highly competent and scientifically literate clinician who is equipped to practise person-centred medicine in a constantly changing modern world with a foundation in the basic medical and social sciences.

The six-year integrated programme of study comprises a series of compulsory modules which are assessed in the academic year in which they are taken, through both formative and integrated summative methods.

The modules in each year are themed and focus on:

Year 1: Fundamentals of Clinical Science 1 Year 2: Fundamentals of Clinical Science 2 Year 3: Integrated BSc Year 4: Integrated Clinical Care Year 5: The Life Cycle and Specialist Practice Year 6: Preparation for Practice

Students who are already UK graduates are exempt from the integrated BSc and will move directly from year two to year four.

Clinical and Professional Practice (CPP) modules run 'vertically' through the entire MBBS programme and include Anatomy and Imaging, Clinical Skills and Practical Procedures, Pathological Sciences, Use of Medicines, Doctor as a Data Scientist, Mental Health, Social Determinants of Health, Ethics and Law, Clinical Communication and Patient Safety/Patient Experience.

Student Selected Components (SSCs) in years one, two and six allow students to pursue special interests and develop a range of generic skills. The SSCs include choices in science, research, the arts and humanities and languages.

An elective period in Year Six, which the majority of students choose to take overseas, enables students to experience medicine in other health care environments.

For highly motivated and especially able students there is the opportunity to obtain a PhD in addition to the BSc and MBBS degrees. A small number of students are selected each year for the MBPhD programme. Selection normally takes place during year four of the programme.

Upon successful completion of 780 credits, you will be awarded a MBBS degree. Upon successful completion of 120 credits, you will be awarded a BSc (Hons) in your chosen programme (except graduate entrants with UK degrees).

Working in a healthcare career can be rewarding and fulfilling, and we encourage candidates from a wide variety of backgrounds to apply to medical school. We seek to select candidates who have the motivation and passion for caring for others, who have an understanding of the rewards and challenges, and who align with the values of the NHS constitution. In addition to your academic achievements, medical schools look for a range of skills and attributes that we believe will make you a well-rounded candidate to study medicine, including compassion, empathy, personal organisation, honesty, team working, leadership and resilience. At UCL Medical School, we are looking to train a UCL Doctor: a highly competent and scientifically literate clinician, equipped to practise person-centred medicine in a constantly changing modern world, with a foundation in the basic medical and social sciences. This vision is underpinned by the values of scholarship, rigour and professionalism. The focus is on the development of the student as a scientifically informed, socially responsible professional who can serve the health needs of individuals and communities.
