The International Foundation Programme (IFP) for Medicine is a one-year programme designed for overseas students (non-UK students) wishing to enter Medicine (MB ChB) degree programmes in the UK, including at the University of Bristol.
The one-year programme will prepare you for future undergraduate studies by broadening your core knowledge in chemistry and biomedical sciences and by providing experiential learning in a healthcare environment. It provides ample opportunities for personal and professional development and for excelling in subject-specific written and spoken English.
Teaching and assessment methods are designed to help you transition to university-level study and become familiar with the types of learning and assessments typically employed on medicine undergraduate degrees in the UK. The programme is taught by highly qualified academic staff at Bristol, and you will receive full access to University facilities.
Health and Conduct
Certain health conditions may be incompatible with some careers in medicine.
If you have a chronic health condition please contact the enquiries team for guidance on making an application.
We have excellent support services available including Disability Services, Students' Health Services and Student Counselling.
All students entering the International Foundation Programme for Medicine must undergo a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check, and where necessary a police check.
Progression to Degree Courses
You are not guaranteed to progress directly to the MB ChB Medicine programme at Bristol. All IFP for Medicine students are guaranteed a place in the multiple mini-interview process, however you must still apply to the undergraduate MB ChB Medicine programme via UCAS. To be admitted to the undergraduate MB ChB Medicine programme at Bristol, applicants must both meet the IFP progression requirements and perform successfully in the multiple mini-interviews.
If you do not achieve the MB ChB Medicine entry requirements, we may offer you a place on a Life Sciences degree. You will also be free to apply for medical degrees at other universities.
