Our six year course begins with systems based modules that equip you with the scientific knowledge you’ll draw on throughout your clinical training. You will also complete an intercalated BSc in Year 3 (except for UK graduates), developing academic and research skills that support your future career.


From your first year, you’ll meet patients and see how scientific learning connects to real clinical experiences. These early encounters build your confidence and insights, while small group Clinical and Professional Practice sessions strengthen your communication, teamwork, and reflective skills. As you progress through the course, your learning becomes increasingly placement based.


Throughout the course, you will experience a variety of clinical environments in and around London. You will learn with and from patients, doctors, and other healthcare professionals to explore a wide variety of health conditions, understand clinical presentations and follow patient journeys throughout the healthcare system. These experiences, combined with a strong academic foundation, will equip you with the competencies set out by the General Medical Council’s Outcomes for Graduates and prepare you for success in the UK Medical Licensing Assessment in your final year. The course will support your development into a confident, capable and compassionate UCL Doctor.


Our Clinical and Professional Practice curriculum delivered across all modules helps you develop the values and skills needed to become an outstanding UCL Doctor. Student Selected Component modules are offered at various points, allowing you to study of a medical topic in greater depth. In the final year, you will have the opportunity to complete an eight-week elective placement at a hospital of your choice in the UK or overseas.


You also have the option to join our prestigious MBPhD course after Year 4. MBPhD students undertake three years of full-time research before returning to Year 5 after submitting their thesis. A regular teaching course keeps clinical skills and knowledge up to date during the research period. These students complete an iBSc, MBBS and PhD in nine years, preparing them for a potential career as a clinician-scientist.
