Medicine and Surgery (Accelerated Programme) MB BS Honours (A101)

The accelerated programme is four years long.

• Year 1 spans 45 weeks: your course of study will provide you with an experience separate from, but equivalent to, years 1 and 2 of the five-year MB BS course.
• Years 2, 3 and 4 are the same as years 3, 4 and 5 of the five-year programme. They include significant clinical experience and place further emphasis on professional development, student choice, and hospital- and community-based medicine.

After completing your University degree, you are entitled to provisional registration with the GMC with a licence to practise, subject to demonstrating to the GMC that your fitness to practise is not impaired.

Once you have successfully completed a year as an F1 doctor in a two-year Foundation Programme you should gain full registration. This is followed by a further year of generic training.

On successful completion of your second year, all doctors will have achieved the same basic competencies before going on to select their speciality of choice (), either as a doctor in hospitals, or as a GP.

All doctors, regardless of their speciality, must continue learning throughout their career, and our degree has been designed with this long-term aim in mind.
