Graduate Entry Medicine - 4 year
What does our course offer?
Is this course for me?
As with the six-year undergraduate course, the graduate course retains some elements of traditional medical courses but also integrates clinical experience right from the start.
The Graduate Entry Medicine course is a four-year integrated course aimed at individuals who have a good degree in one of the biological sciences. You will undertake a special programme in the first year, and then join other medical undergraduates for the rest of the course.
Like all Imperial Medical students, you will graduate with an MBBS.
Your first year
You will spend your first year on an accelerated learning programme. The course is specially tailored and will build on the skills and knowledge you already have.
It is intensive and hard work, so we’re looking for committed people who have proved that they have an excellent ability to learn. By the end of the year, you’ll have covered the syllabus of the first two years of our standard Undergraduate Entry Medicine course.
What happens next?
After a year of accelerated learning, you’ll join students in the third year of the Undergraduate Entry Medicine course for your remaining three years’ study.
The teaching programme
There are three parts to the main teaching programme:
Scientific Basis of Medicine
Basic and clinical sciences integrated, to expand your understanding of the structure and function of the systems of the human body and to understand the effect of pathological processes.
Doctor and Patient
Human aspects of medicine in their social context. This part of the course allows you to practise your clinical and communication skills.
Clinical Experience
You will gain clinical experience throughout the course, developing general and then specialist skills.
