Courses

Overview

A standard medical course is 5 years. After successfully completing the course applicants will graduate as a Bachelor of Medicine and Surgery (usually MBChB). Some universities offer a 6-year course to students who are academically suitable to study medicine but haven’t completed the correct subjects at A-Level. These “Foundation” courses provide a pre-medical year learning the scientific background required to continue onto the standard course.
