Description:

The five-year Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery (BMBS) programme draws on the strength of our partnership with the NHS in Devon and Cornwall to provide a unique learning experience in healthcare. It develops skills for lifelong learning and the professional attitudes that you will need throughout your medical career. The importance of a multi-professional perspective is a key component.

The curriculum provides a clinical focus that is patient-centred, forward-thinking and meets the needs of students who want to work as doctors in an increasingly integrated health environment. It also includes the whole health community, not just hospitals. This recognises the community role in chronic illness and prevention and provides the social context, giving you a wider perspective and understanding.

Prerequisites:

Grade for Entrance Previous Year (%)*80
These courses are intended as guidelines. Speak to your guidance counsellor to see what courses are offered at your school.

    the University will accept a Canadian provincial high school / senior secondary school diploma for entry to year one of a Bachelors degree. Typically we require between 80–90% average across year 12 grades, plus any subject-specific requirements for the target course. Alberta and Quebec (DEC) are granted small (2–3%) more favourable requirements than those published here. For those students taking both IB and a provincial diploma, a dual offer may be given.


    Required Courses:

    • Chemistry and Biology - 90%
    • English - 80%
    Test Scores:
    • International English Language Testing System (academic or immigration) or Test of English as a Foreign Language (Internet Based) or Pearson Test of English (Academic) or DuoLingo
    Additional Admission Requirements:

      UCAT?- Candidates applying with predicted or achieved A levels will also be required to sit the University Clinical Aptitude Test (UCAT). Applications will then be sorted according to academic profile and UCAT overall score in order to determine which applicants will receive an offer of an interview. Watch the UCAT Preparation plan video.


      GAMSAT?- Candidates applying with an existing degree, or if it will be more than two full academic years (September to August) since you completed your A levels or equivalent qualifications when you enter the BMBS programme, will be required to sit the Graduate Medical School Admissions Test (GAMSAT). Applications will be sorted according to the GAMSAT overall score.


      Offers/interviews

      The interview style will be Multiple Mini Interview (MMI). The interview may take place either in person or online.

      Assistance for travel is available to those who meet certain eligibility criteria.


      Health assessments and DBS

      All successful applicants after interview will be required to complete a health questionnaire and those accepting an offer will be screened by our Occupational Health Department. You may be required to attend a medical examination as part of the admissions process. You will be required to have up to date vaccination records for relevant innoculations in line with University requirements and those of your placement providers.

      We require all medical students to be immunised against certain infectious diseases to meet health and safety standards required to work with patients. We will require students to provide evidence of two MMR jabs, and in addition undergo tests to determine their Hepatitis B surface antigen, TB and HIV status.

      Enrolled medical students will be unable to undertake their studies without evidence of completion of the vaccination process.

      Offers for this programme will be conditional on a completed Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check.

      All successful applicants will be required to sign the appropriate student agreement.
