The four-year programme is a condensed version of the five-year MB ChB course.
Students on this "Fast Track" course will follow the same teaching schedule as the five-year A100 students but will be exempt from the 'Molecular and Cellular Basis of Medicine Unit' * and the Student Selected Component in Year 2. They will complete the remainder of the Year 1 & 2 Units in one year instead of two.
*Certain students may be exempt from the Anatomy component of the programme; this will depend on their previous qualifications and is at the discretion of the Faculty under the guidance of the Programme Director.
Fast Track students will complete the remaining three years of the MB ChB degree according to the A100 teaching schedule.
Anatomy, Biomedical Sciences, Cell Pathology, Dentistry, Neuroscience, Osteopathy, Pharmacology, Pharmacy, Physiology, and Physiotherapy. Biology, Biochemistry and Psychology are only acceptable if human science modules have been covered in the degree.
Degrees in Nursing, Radiography, or Sports Science are not acceptable unless additional courses are studied, for example an MSc which increases basic knowledge in medical sciences.
Further information on admission requirements for the graduate entry (A101) course can be found in the 2012 Undergraduate Prospectus.
Graduates from other disciplines may apply for the A104 six-year premedical programme or the A100 five-year standard programme.
All applications from graduates and prospective graduates must be received through UCAS (Universities and Colleges Admissions Service) by October 15th in the year preceding the start of the programme. Students may apply online at www.ucas.ac.uk.
