This programme is designed to prepare international students who have completed senior secondary education, and met the academic requirements listed, to apply for undergraduate study for a Medicine degree at the University of Central Lancashire, RCSI, SGU and UNIC. MUFP students must be 17 on the start date of the course and be 18 by the start of the progression course at the University.

This programme lasts one academic year (nine months). The year is divided into three terms of seven to eight teaching weeks and one examination week. On average, you will undertake between 21 and (up to) 27 hours of classroom-based study per week.

An extended programme is available which comprises one term of English language, followed by three terms as described above.

Please note: minimum and maximum hours are estimated, hours may vary depending on your academic and English level and may be adjusted throughout the course.

You will be assessed by exam for Maths and English, and by a combination of exam and practical work for Biology and Chemistry.

Entry to Medicine is competitive and whilst students who are predicted to achieve the required grades are guaranteed an interview at the University of Central Lancashire and RCSI, there is no guarantee of acceptance onto the course. Students must have met all pre-requisites to be considered for Medicine at our partner universities.
