Medicine Undergraduate Foundation Programme

Who is this programme designed for?

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 UCLan, 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.

How long will I study for?

This programme lasts one academic year (nine months). The year is divided into three terms of approximately 10 weeks. 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.

What will I study?

This programme includes four core modules, taken by all students throughout the course. These modules are: Medical Biology, Chemistry for Medicine, Pure Maths with Statistics and English.

Students will also study a Medicine Skills module. You will have a Personal Tutor to support you throughout the programme. Your Personal Tutor will help you adjust to life and study in the UK, support you to become a successful medicine student, and prepare you for your university interview.

How will I be assessed?

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 UCLan 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.

In 2021 a significant proportion of ONCAMPUS UK North students progressed to 5 year Medicine degrees at our partner universities. Click on the flyer below to take a look at this year's student progression.
