- Duration:
- 5–6 years + 2-year foundation
- Medium:
- English
Admission route
Apply through UCAS by the October deadline, sit the UCAT and confirm international fee status and GMC registration requirements.
UCAS- 1
Check eligibility
Check the university's current medicine entry requirements, accepted school qualifications and eligibility for international applicants.
- 2
Confirm the programme
Verify the degree, teaching language, entrance tests, clinical language requirements and internship arrangements directly with the university.
- 3
Prepare your documents
Confirm requirements for transcripts, passport, language evidence and document certification. Check tuition and living costs before accepting an offer.
- 4
Apply & verify licensing
Apply through the official university or national admission portal. Check home-country medical registration requirements and visa rules before enrolment.
Entry rules, fees and deadlines vary by institution and session. A QS rank is not medical accreditation or permission to practise. For practice in Pakistan, confirm the current requirements directly with PMDC; a World Directory of Medical Schools listing alone is not accreditation.
