4 Years On Campus Accelerated-bachelors Program
Queen Mary University of LondonQueen Mary's four-year Graduate Entry Medicine (GEP) is designed for graduates with a science or health-related degree. It offers an accelerated route into medicine, focusing on developing medical knowledge, clinical skills, and professional attitudes needed for modern medical practice.
Program Structure
Year 1 (Phase 1):
Covers the core biomedical sciences through a systems-based, integrated curriculum. Includes public health, early patient contact, and clinical skills development.
Years 2–3 (Phase 2):
Intensive clinical training across various specialties. Students rotate through hospitals and general practices to gain hands-on experience in primary and secondary care.
Year 4 (Phase 3):
Prepares students for the role of a Foundation Year 1 doctor through advanced clinical placements, shadowing, and increased responsibility in patient care.
Clinical Placements
Students train in a wide range of clinical environments, including major teaching hospitals and community healthcare settings in and around London, ensuring diverse and comprehensive clinical exposure.
Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) is associated with several hospitals and healthcare institutions for clinical placements, particularly through its Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry. Key hospitals affiliated with Queen Mary University include:
Barts Health NHS Trust:
Research Opportunities:
INSIGHT Research Internships and Externships:
Provide hands-on experience in clinical research, allowing students to engage in real-world research projects and develop core skills in research methodologies.
Wellcome Trust Biomedical Vacation Scholarships:
Offer summer research placements for undergraduates from underrepresented groups, encouraging interest in biomedical research and academic medicine.
Queen Mary Centre for Undergraduate Research (QMCUR):
Supports student engagement in interdisciplinary research, collaborative projects, and academic seminars to promote inquiry and innovation.
Medical graduates in the UK follow a structured career progression pathway after completing their MBBS or equivalent degree. Upon graduation, they enter the Foundation Programme, a two-year paid training period (FY1 and FY2) where they rotate through various specialties to gain broad clinical experience. Successful completion of this leads to full registration with the General Medical Council (GMC).
After Foundation Training, doctors choose a specialty and apply for Core or Specialty Training. Core Training typically lasts 2–3 years and is followed by higher Specialty Training, while some fields (like General Practice or Surgery) offer run-through training from the start. Specialty training durations vary—General Practice takes around 3 years, while hospital specialties can take 5–8+ years, depending on the discipline. After completing training, doctors become Consultants in hospital specialties or General Practitioners (GPs).
In terms of further study, many graduates pursue postgraduate qualifications to enhance their expertise or academic profile. Options include:
Master’s degrees (e.g., MSc in Public Health, Medical Education, Clinical Research, or Global Health)
PhDs or MD(Res) for careers in academia or research
Diplomas and Certificates in fields like Tropical Medicine, Radiology, or Dermatology
Intercalated BSc or MBPhD programmes (during or after undergraduate studies for research-focused pathways)
This combination of structured clinical training and academic opportunities allows UK-trained doctors to build flexible, rewarding careers in medicine, academia, global health, and beyond.
