Teaching method

Our curriculum looks at technological developments in education and healthcare and expectations of medical practice within the NHS of the future, with teaching enriched by our internationally competitive research and clinical expertise.

You will benefit from early exposure to clinical skills training and patient experience, as well as a focus on the application of research skills in phase two. A case-based learning approach integrates and translates scientific knowledge to clinical care and each module builds on the last, adding more depth and complexity.

Successful students will graduate with both an MBBS and BSc qualification with this integrated course. Exceptional students may be offered the opportunity to include a PhD as part of their studies.

We also offer an Intercalated BSc programme for external medical, dental and veterinary students to study at Imperial College London. Find out more about our Intercalated BSc programme.
