MBChB Graduate Entry Medicine
Course overview
The University of Chester's medical degree is a four-year, graduate-entry MBChB programme, open to applicants with a previous degree in any discipline. Unlike many traditional MBChB degrees, this allows more advanced students to consider becoming a doctor after completing a previous course of study towards a graduate degree.
For example, even if you have a first degree in the arts, humanities or languages, but would now like to study medicine, you are eligible to apply. The department welcomes individuals from a wide variety of backgrounds who wish to pursue a degree in graduate entry medicine in the UK, not just those with a background in science or allied healthcare disciplines.
