About Bristol Medical School

Bristol Medical School welcomes students from all backgrounds who wish to train to become doctors.  We will provide you with teaching and experience to enable you to attain your academic potential providing the foundation for a variety of careers within the medical profession.

We aim to:

• produce students with the appropriate knowledge, skills and attitudes required to practice medicine, preparing graduates for their F1 year and equipping them for lifelong learning.
• provide students with opportunities to explore beyond the core curriculum, gaining wider knowledge and understanding within a research environment.
• produce graduates who will enhance the practice of medicine in the next generation, and who can act as educators and leaders for the future

The first two years of the course are based at the School of Medical Sciences in the heart of Bristol. The library has undergone a major refurbishment and two new CETL developments with state of the art teaching facilities have been developed. All non-local first years are guaranteed halls accommodation. There is a gym and swimming pool within the precinct.

The final three years of the course are based in the Clinical Academies. These all have clinical skills labs. This gives you the benefit of working in a wide range of settings so you can decide what environment suits you. Academies are based at Somerset, North Bristol, South Bristol, Weston Super Mare, Gloucestershire and Bath.

About the Bristol MB ChB Programmes

The Bristol Medical School has three entry routes. The majority of students enrol on the standard Medicine MB ChB programme (A100) which has 216 places for home and EU students and 19 places for overseas students. Each year we also accept 19 Graduate Entry students (A101) and 10 Pre Medical students (A104). 

Students on the standard programme spend most of the first two years based at the School of Medical Sciences in Bristol.  During the final three years of the programme, students spend the majority of their time on clinical placement in Academies.

Please note that all medical students are required to undergo a Criminal Records Bureau check, in line with other health-related courses in the United Kingdom.
