A pathway into medicine

Our Biomedical Sciences programmes provide an excellent foundation for students aspiring to study Medicine or Dentistry, and many of our graduates progress to further study in these fields. If this is the path you choose, you'll have the opportunity to distinguish yourself throughout your BSc.

The 25 highest-ranked academic performance students who complete the University Clinical Aptitude Test (UCAT)  from our Biomedical Sciences, Neuroscience, Pharmacology and Medical Genetics programmes are guaranteed an interview for the five-year A100 MBBS Medicine programme at Queen Mary University of London. Of these, the top seven students will also be considered for an interview for the four-year A101 MBBS Graduate Entry Programme. 

In a separate ranking process, students from our Biomedical Sciences, Neuroscience, Pharmacology and Medical Genetics programmes who wish to apply for Dentistry will be ranked according to their UCAT performance and academic achievement. The top seven ranked students will be guaranteed an interview for the five-year A200 BDS Dentistry programme.

Please note, you are required to complete your first degree, prior to starting your next programme of study

If you continue your medical training with us, you'll benefit from a world-class educational experience, learning from leading experts who are actively shaping their fields through groundbreaking research.

The MBBS Medicine programme is designed to develop the clinical, communication, observational, teamwork and leadership skills essential for a successful medical career. Teaching is informed by world-leading research, connecting your learning to advances spanning laboratory discoveries, new treatments and public health interventions.

With a strong emphasis on problem-based learning in small groups, the programme encourages you to develop the confidence and skills to approach clinical scenarios independently. Unlike more traditional medical courses, there is no clear divide between pre-clinical and clinical study, meaning you'll begin gaining patient-facing experience from your very first term.

As you progress, you'll undertake placements in hospitals and community settings across London and Essex. This breadth of clinical experience will expose you to a diverse range of patients, communities and health conditions, helping you develop the knowledge, adaptability and confidence needed for a career as a qualified doctor
