Course summary
Do you already have a degree? Fast-track your MBBS at one of the UK’s top medical schools. Fascinated by the human body? Driven to shape the future of healthcare? Ready to make a difference to countless lives? Prepare for a rewarding career as a qualified doctor by studying at one of the oldest medical schools in the UK. You'll develop foundational knowledge and skills, as well as the fundamentals of professional practice behaviours necessary for being a new doctor. Our curriculum is underpinned by our world-leading bench to bedside research, linking your learning to the work of the faculty, who pioneer the discovery and development of new drugs globally, through to design and delivery of effective public health interventions for our local community and beyond. Because you already have a degree, you’ll be able to complete this programme in four years, rather than the standard five years. This means you’ll be able to finish sooner and kickstart your career in medicine. We're excited to announce that Health 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. Confident in clinical scenarios Expect evidence-based educational approaches whether for small or large group teaching, and focus on developing your self-regulated learning ability necessary for independent clinical practice. You’ll start seeing patients from your very first week, in community and hospital settings, across all years of the course. You can also self-select modules where you have interest or passion, from the fundamental or clinical sciences through to the psychological or social sciences as well as any area of study you want to pursue with our support in order to become the doctor you want to be.
Modules
Phase 1 (Year 1) You will undertake seven 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. Our evidence-based teaching methods in Phase 1 are carefully chosen to ensure you securely acquire the knowledge necessary for developing the skills and behaviours required for applying in clinical settings and mastering in Phase 2 and 3 of the course. We use small and large group methods such as lectures, practical (anatomy and physiology) teaching, and group work in problem-based, team-based learning, clinical and communication skills settings. Clinical placements Clinical placements are an essential part of your professional identity development as a medical student through to becoming a doctor. Our course ensures patient contact from the first year of the course, and across every year of the programme ensuring knowledge and skills learnt in the classroom, are consolidated into professional values and behaviours learnt in clinical settings. Clinical placements for Graduate Entry Programme (GEP) MBBS students at Queen Mary University of London start in September of Year 1 and you will spend every Thursday in a practice-based setting or learning clinical skills. Students in groups of 8 work with a GP tutor on a fortnightly basis through the length of Year 1. You will be introduced to the GP team at the surgery, the local area served by the practice and most importantly the patients. You will learn about the impact of ill health on the patient, their family and their community, as well as the factors that contribute to the experience of living with disease for the patient.

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.
