Applying information

What you will study

Years 1 to 3 (part-time)

In Years 1 and 2, you will study clinical sciences such as anatomy, physiology and pharmacology. You will also study the social and ethical aspects of medicine.

You will learn practical clinical skills such as:

  • resuscitation and interviewing patients
  • developing your clinical reasoning
  • decision-making skills

You will also:

  • take a Knowledge to Clinical Practice module
  • undergo a general practice (GP) attachment

In Year 3, you will gain clinical experience through placements in secondary and primary care.

Years 4 and 5 (full-time)

In Years 4 and 5, you will join Years 5 and 6 of the main Bachelor of Medicine and Surgery (MBChB) in Edinburgh, and you will rotate through a number of specialities, working on hospital wards as part of a team.

In Years 4 and 5, full-time study will be expected and a variety of shifts will be required for the clinical years, including late/overnight shifts.

In Year 1, you will study Foundations of Medicine 1, the first of two year-long courses. Comprising three biomedical modules, the course will contribute to a comprehensive foundation in biomedical, social and clinical sciences and link that knowledge to clinical practice.

Alongside this you will study:

  • Social and Ethical Aspects of Medicine (SEAM), emphasising the importance of understanding health and illness from a holistic, biopsychosocial perspective
  • Research and Evidence Based Medicine (REBM) which will equip you with the skills needed for critical appraisal of scientific research and its application to clinical scenarios
  • Knowledge to Clinical Practice (KCP), which is mainly taught in the general practice placement and emphasises the relevance of scientific and clinical knowledge to clinical practice
  • Professional Skills, which includes communication, clinical skills and professionalism

In your general practice (GP) attachment, which is half a day per week in Years 1 and 2, you will learn history-taking and examination and gain an understanding of how GPs assess and manage patients.

In Years 1 and 2, HCP-Med has a longer academic year than the main MBChB, running for up to 40 weeks.

37 weeks are taught online and in GP placements, during which you will need to commit 21 hours per week to the programme. The 21 hours per week breaks down as follows:

  • 4 hours a week general practice (GP practice) - you will arrange the timing of these with your host practice
  • 8 hours a week online learning, always on Thursdays
  • 9 hours self-directed learning - you will need to accommodate this around your work and personal commitments

We will inform you of the exact dates not later than one month before the beginning of each academic year.

In Year 2, you will cover the Foundations of Medicine 2, which builds on the learning in Year 1.

You will continue to study biomedical modules, alongside:

  • Social and Ethical Aspects of Medicine (SEAM)
  • Research and Evidence Based Medicine (REBM)
  • Knowledge to Clinical Practice (KCP)
  • Professional Skills

Time commitment in Year 2 follows the same pattern as in Year 1.

In Year 3, you will gain clinical experience through placements in secondary and primary care. Clinical placements take up one day per week.

You will study core specialities such as respiratory medicine and cardiology. Online teaching will be reinforced using case-based learning in clinical attachments.

At the start of Year 4, you will join the main programme full-time. Years 4 and 5 of HCP-Med equates to Years 5 and 6 of the main MBChB programme, because all students in the main programme undertake an additional BSc in their third year.

You will move around a number of specialities, including obstetrics, gynaecology and psychiatry, working on hospital wards as part of a team.

In addition to further clinical placements in a range of disciplines, you will complete a group teaching project in partnership with a clinical tutor.

In Year 5, you will consolidate your learning from previous years and work on an apprenticeship model to prepare for employment in the postgraduate Foundation Programme.

Your focus will be on developing practical skills and knowledge of:

  • general and acute medicine
  • general practice
  • emergency medicine
  • surgery
  • anaesthetics
  • intensive care

You will have the opportunity to assist a trainee doctor and will become a valued member of the healthcare team. Under supervision, you will carry out some of the duties of a Foundation Year 1 doctor.

Elective

You will also arrange and complete an elective, either in the UK or abroad. This is a period of study at another medical school or clinical placement provider in an area aligned to your interests and aspirations. Many students choose to go abroad, but this is not essential.

For more information on travelling abroad for the elective, see the 'Study abroad' section.

Study abroad

If you would like to study abroad for your elective experience, you can apply for an elective at the following partner schools:

You can also arrange your own elective at another institution abroad.

Any decision to study abroad is subject to approval from the Elective Director, and will be informed by guidance from the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office.

Placements

General practitioner (GP) placements involve:

  • apprentice-style observation of surgeries
  • practice-based tutorials
  • shadowing of members of the primary care team

You will be placed in a GP practice and hospital within a reasonable distance of your home address. You are placed with the same GP practice during Years 1 to 3.

Two students share their experiences on HCP-Med for Healthcare Professionals.

For information about clinical placements in Years 4 and 5 and guidance on professional standards on clinical placements, including dress codes, refer to the Bachelor of Medicine and Surgery (MBChB) programme handbook.

Teaching and assessment

Teaching

Years 1 to 3: Part-time (primarily online)

Online teaching will use the following methods:

  • video introductions to each module, which include the learning outcomes
  • pre-recorded narrated lectures which cover the main learning points
  • discussion forums
  • online quizzes
  • virtual tutorials which use problem-based or case-based learning
  • podcasts
  • curated online resources

Face-to-face teaching only takes place during the residential weeks and will involve learning practical skills, group work and team building.

You will also have clinical placements in general practices and hospitals in Years 1 to 3.

Years 4 and 5: Full-time clinical

Years 4 and 5 are mostly based in clinical settings, with less formal teaching and more experiential and self-directed learning. 

Online resources are particularly valuable. Modules run constantly, and you will rotate through them in different sequences. Modules are mostly based on attachments to particular specialities and locations, rotating around 30 or more attachments over three years. This gives you the experience of all types of patients and settings.

Assessment

You must be in Edinburgh for assessments. There may be times when assessments are outside of residential weeks.

You will complete the following assessments during the programme:

  • In Years 1 and 2, you will take knowledge tests and the anatomy spot exam at the end of each academic year.
  • In Year 2, an Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) is introduced at the end of the academic year.
  • In Year 3, you will take:
    • knowledge tests throughout the year
    • a clinical examination (OSCE) twice during the year (in January and in June)
Medical Licensing Assessment

The General Medical Council (GMC) has introduced a Medical Licensing Assessment (MLA).

The MLA is intended to demonstrate that everyone who obtains registration with a licence to practise medicine in the UK has met a common threshold for safe practice.

To obtain registration with a licence to practise, you will need to pass both parts of the MLA:

  • a knowledge test, set by the GMC
  • an assessment, delivered by the Medical School

This will evaluate your clinical and professional skills. You must also demonstrate your fitness to practise.

Support for your studies

You will have access to a range of support services if you need them throughout your degree.

We will assign you to a student adviser, and this should be the first person to contact if you need help. They can guide you to other University service teams depending on what support you need.

Support for your studies

Where you will study

Study location

For Years 1, 2 and 3, you will study part-time and online, while continuing part-time in your current employment.

You will also have clinical attachments (general practice and hospital) and three compulsory residential weeks in Edinburgh each year.

For Years 4 and 5, you will study full-time at our campus in Edinburgh.

Academic facilities

You will have access to University libraries and study spaces while you study with us. You will also be able to use hospital libraries on most sites. 

You will also have access to our virtual learning environment, where our online teaching will be delivered and which offers a wide range of online course resources.

Career paths

We take part in the UK Foundation Programme Scheme. This places graduates in foundation doctor posts across the UK.

Many graduates also go on to work with distinguished national and international research groups.

What happens when you complete your MBChB?

At the end of your programme, you will receive your Bachelor of Medicine and Surgery (MBChB) degree, which is a Primary Medical Qualification (PMQ).

Once you hold a Primary Medical Qualification and have passed the Medical Licensing Assessment, you qualify for provisional registration with the General Medical Council (as long as there are no Fitness to Practise concerns).

Foundation Year 1 posts

Once you are a provisionally registered doctor, you can practise in approved Foundation Year 1 posts. You cannot undertake any other type of work.

To obtain a Foundation Year 1 post, you will need to apply during the final year of your undergraduate programme. You should do this through the UK Foundation Programme Office selection scheme, which allocates posts to graduates on a competitive basis.

So far, all suitably qualified UK graduates from Edinburgh have found a place on the Foundation Year 1 programme, but this cannot be guaranteed in all instances, for example, if there were to be an increased number of competitive applications from non-UK graduates.

The Foundation Year 1 programme usually takes 12 months to complete. On completion, you will be awarded a Certificate of Experience.

Full registration

Before you can begin unsupervised medical practice in the National Health Service (NHS) or private practice in the UK, you must have full registration with a licence to practise.

Once you have your Certificate of Experience, you are eligible to apply for full registration with the General Medical Council.

Please be aware that these regulations may be subject to change.
