Extended Medical Degree Programme
|
|
| About this course: |
| The Extended Medical Degree Programme (EMDP) is a six-year medical degree course that has been designed to help students living in inner London to study at Medical School. The course allows students to study at a slower pace and with greater support during their first three years. By the end of the six years of the EMDP, students on the course will have covered exactly the same topics, at the same level of detail, as the conventional medical students on the standard five-year MBBS programme. They will also have sat the same examinations and been required to achieve the same pass mark.
Course Duration: 6 years |

The first test assesses your cognitive reasoning and problem solving skills. The second and third parts assess the extent to which your personality is suited to a career in medicine. The test assesses the way you think, not the amount you know. It is not possible to revise for the test. All applicants who satisfy our general entrance requirements will be invited to take the PQA test by the Student Admissions Office. |
