Course summary

Our newly redeveloped curriculum looks at technological developments in education and healthcare and expectations of medical practice within the NHS of the future, with teaching enriched by our internationally competitive research and clinical expertise.

Additional entry requirements
Admission tests
Criminal records declaration (DBS/Disclosure Scotland)
You will need to successfully obtain a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) certificate before you can study the course and go out to placements. The DBS is designed to ensure candidates are suited to working with vulnerable groups including children. You will need to have completed an enhanced DBS check, and will be notified of the procedures should you receive an offer of a place on the course.
Health checks
All candidates offered a place must complete a health assessment with the College’s Occupational Health Service. We are also required by the General Medical Council (GMC) to ensure that you are not affected by a condition that would make it impossible for you to acquire the skills necessary to qualify and work safely as a doctor before accepting you onto the course. If you are offered a place, you will need to be immunised against a range of infections to meet health and safety standards necessary for work with patients. You will be sent details of the vaccination programme along with your offer. As soon as you receive this information you should arrange with your doctor or a health clinic to begin this programme, as it can take eight months to complete. Chronic viral infections that are carried in the blood can be transmitted during surgery to patients from an infected healthcare worker. When you come to Imperial, in order to comply with NHS requirements, you will be offered blood tests to check that you are not infected with hepatitis B, hepatitis C and/or HIV, before you can be cleared for hands-on surgical experience. If tested positive for these infections, you will be allowed to continue your course but not allowed to assist with or undertake surgery or other ‘exposure-prone’ procedures on patients. It will not prevent you from qualifying or practising as a doctor, except for the restriction on exposure-prone procedures.

The School of Medicine invites shortlisted applicants to take part in Multiple Mini Interviews. The following criteria may be considered when assessing candidates: • Evidence of commitment to the values of the NHS Constitution • Motivation and understanding of medicine as a career • Empathy and Resilience • Community activities • Leadership and teamwork • Extracurricular interests A candidate’s UCAS application will be reviewed during interview.
