Study at our Medical School embedded in the communities of Cumbria, with learning opportunities across the region. Our 4-year programme has no GCSE or A-level requirements to remove these barriers and widening access.
The bespoke course blends expertise from the highly rated MBBS programme at Imperial College London with University of Cumbria’s longstanding reputation in training allied healthcare professionals and is focused on local healthcare needs.
You will benefit from early exposure to clinical practice alongside campus-based medical sciences teaching, incorporating clinical skills training and multi professional learning. You will also complete a community-based prevention and healthcare delivery project.
Our personalised professional development tutoring program will support your progress and career development, and you will be given access to resources to structure your learning and inspire innovation.
You will need to be a home student with at least an upper second-class science or allied healthcare degree to be considered, and successful students will graduate with an MBBS from Imperial College London.
We are the University of Cumbria, for and from Cumbria and our localities, rooted in and serving our communities, with people, place and partnership at our heart.
Imperial College London is a world-class university with a mission to benefit society through excellence in science, engineering, medicine and business.
We are proudly supported by the Pears Foundation
