M+D MEDICAL FOUNDATION PROGRAMME

While there is an increasing demand for doctors and dentists to work in the UK, it is extremely difficult to secure a place at a British Medical School. The 1-year M+D Foundation Programme taught at our college offers an attractive and unique opportunity.

The programme helps students to acquire the knowledge base and academic skills necessary to study Medicine at degree level. It provides an understanding of how the human body works through the study of physiology, genetics and molecular biology, cells and tissues, microbiology and chemistry.

Students will be given excellent advice on application to medical and dental schools, such as UCAS application form, personal statements, UKCAT and interview preparation. Students on the M+D Foundation can also benefit by gaining medical work experience within a UK hospital.

Although excellent preparation for entry to a UK medical or dental school will be given, a place can not be guaranteed. However, successful completion (65% or over + IELTS 6.5) of this programme does secure progression onto the M+D Pre-Medical programme in London. This programme has an excellent record of securing students places at UK Medical Schools. From 2011, the Pre-Medical Programme will be incorporated into a two year intensive degree programme in Medical Sciences. This gives students a further opportunity of applying to UK Medical and Dental Schools as graduates.

Graduates of the M+D Foundation and the M&D Pre-Med Programmes may also have the exciting opportunity to study medicine or dentistry abroad at Cardinal Herrera University in Valencia, Charles University in Prague, Cormenius University in Bratislava, or the Medical University of Gdansk in Poland.

Students who already have relevant qualifications may only need to complete certain modules of the M+D Foundation, such as Psychology and Advanced English and Communication, which they require in addition, to apply to Medical School.

For those with insufficient language skills, the M+D Foundation Programme is combined with English language tuition and IELTS preparation classes.

There are two intakes a year, one in September and the other in January.
