Bachelor Programme

Medicine

King's Medicine MBBS integrates biomedical science with clinical teaching throughout, with partner hospitals including Guy's, St Thomas' and King's College Hospital, plus placements at district general hospitals across south-east England and more than 350 general practices. The course runs in three stages: biomedical and population science foundations, blocks built around the human life cycle and common conditions, and a final stage focused on future practice, with elective study abroad and quality improvement projects, plus an optional intercalated degree between Stages 2 and 3. Graduates can apply to the GMC for registration. Entry is through UCAS (course code A100) by 15 October; the UCAT is required and no offers are made without an interview.
