The course is only available to medical students as an intercalated programme,
building on work already undertaken within the MBChB. You may take the
programme between the third and fourth, or fourth and fifth years of the MBChB.
To be considered for the programme you will have to demonstrate that your
performance in year 2 and 3 of the medical degree is equivalent to a 1 or 2.1 in a
standard classified degree. A good pass (65%) in the Clinical Sciences component of
the MBChB is desirable.
Transcripts are reviewed to confirm student academic achievement. Students are
expected to have achieved 60% or above (or have extenuating circumstances which
were accepted for the academic year in question) for all completed years with the
exception of year 1. In exceptional circumstances students who have failed to
achieve this will be considered if a clear and strong case for academic progression
can be made. A section for this has been included in the application form and you
are welcome to discuss your situation with the Course Director, Dr Manoj Raghavan
(M.Raghavan@bham.ac.uk), in advance of your application.
