BACHELOR OF MEDICINE AND BACHELOR OF SURGERY

This Medicine (Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery) course at University of Central Lancashire (UCLan) is open to international students and a limited number of places will be available for UK students from the North West of England. Weighting will given to UK Widening Participation students. UK applications from outside the North West of England will not be considered. Two regional UK scholarships offering full tuition fees and a maintenance grant are also available.
The university has a long history of encouraging participation in higher education by those who are academically capable, but whose participation in HE has been disadvantaged or have not been encouraged to consider this option. This is reflected in our Access Agreement.
It is also our strategy to support regional medical workforce recruitment and sustainability by training local students who are committed to studying and working in the region. The school also aims to widen the demographic profile of the medical student body, encouraging those traditionally less likely to enter into medicine and help develop a workforce which better reflects the local population which it serves.
This degree will deliver graduates with a UK primary medical qualification who are to take on the roles and responsibilities of a medical doctor entering into foundation postgraduate training or international equivalent, as required by the GMC.
