About Mbbs/bsc Medicine in Imperial College London

Imperial’s Faculty of Medicine is one of the largest in Europe, with medical campuses across north and west London and partnerships with a wide range of NHS Trusts, hospitals and clinics. In response to several drivers for change, including updated GMC guidance, technological development in education and healthcare, the planned Medical Licensing Assessment (MLA) and expectations of medical practice within the NHS of the future, a review of the MBBS programme has been undertaken and a new curriculum developed.

Our teaching is enriched by our internationally competitive research and clinical expertise, so you’ll be learning at the very cutting edge of the subject. We deliver the course through a range of innovative and traditional teaching methods, including lectures, small group teaching, computer workshops, laboratory classes and problem-based learning.

The emphasis of our new MBBS programme is on the development of Professional Values and Behaviours, Professional skills, and Professional Knowledge, in line with the GMC’s most recently published Outcomes for Graduates (2018). The redeveloped spiral curriculum is delivered in three phases and provides exciting opportunities for our students and staff including: 

• More opportunities for clinical skills training and patient experience. 
• A case-based learning approach to facilitate integration and translation of scientific knowledge to clinical care. 
• A structure to facilitate active, life-long learning, with each module building on the previous one, adding more depth and complexity. 
• A Programmatic Assessment strategy to enable you to build your knowledge throughout your studies. 
• A focus on the application of science and research skills in Phase 2, expanding upon early science exposure in Phase 1. 
• A redeveloped and enhanced tutoring programme to support your progression with a focus on Study Skills. 
• Continued opportunities across Phase 3 for reflective learning, to be recorded and reviewed by you and your tutor.
