Course summary
Do you already have a science or health-related degree? Fast-track your MBBS at one of the UK’s top medical schools. Queen Mary University of London's Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry is one of the oldest medical schools in the UK. We draw on our long experience to provide the best in modern medical training, with high-tech teaching facilities, and aim to prepare you for life as a qualified doctor. Our strong core curriculum will equip you with clinical, communication, observation, teamwork and management skills. The curriculum is underpinned by research, linking your learning to the work of the faculty, from the laboratory bench to new drugs to public health interventions. With less emphasis on traditional lectures, problem-based learning in small groups encourages you to take an independent approach to clinical scenarios. You’ll start seeing patients from your very first term, and progress to hospital and community placements. You can follow your own interests by choosing student-selected components, from basic sciences to clinical specialities, community and public health, medical ethics and law. We're excited to announce that Higher Education England have funded a project for the Graduate Entry Programme to enhance content delivery with a blended approach, utilising bespoke premium digital content alongside active and social learning principles.
Modules
Phase 1 (Year 1) You will undertake eight modules in Year 1, covering themes including Digestion, Metabolism and Growth, Infection and Immunity, Human Sciences and Public Health. You will be introduced to applied biological sciences and address key topics, including:
- Normal biological structure and function of cells, organs and body systems
- The effect of illness on people and their families
- The impact of environmental and social factors on health.
Assessment method
Your progress is monitored through a combination of continuous assessment and regular examinations, with final exams each year. A scheme of merits and distinctions recognises excellent or outstanding performance across each sector of the curriculum. Prizes reward special ability both in the main examinations and in specialist subjects.

Health checks
The Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry welcomes and accommodates people with health conditions and disabilities. However, medical students must be fit to practise and the safety of patients will always be the primary consideration. We have a strong system of student support and anyone with a health condition or disability will be offered the appropriate adjustments and support to help them succeed. However, in some cases, an impairment or health condition may make it impossible for a student to meet the outcomes required by the GMC at the point of graduation. Where all possible options to help the student have been explored and are still unsuccessful, the student may have to leave the course or be reviewed by the Professional Capability Committee. If you are offered a place on the course, we will send information regarding the requirement for prior assessment. This will be in the form of a confidential health questionnaire which follows the HEOPS guidance, but also we will ask you to make contact with our Disability and Dyslexia Service. This is so that a discussion of reasonable adjustment or discussion of your assessment of needs report can be made prior to you starting the degree programme. We also have to be assured that we can help you practise safely in training and employment. The Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry has implemented the guidance from the Department of Health on health clearance for new healthcare workers.
