Our MBChB (Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery) is a 4-year, graduate-entry, program that will prepare you to be a compassionate, highly skilled doctor able to pursue any career pathway you choose.

At Worcester, you’ll spend much of your time learning medicine in the community alongside patients, as well as studying on campus. You’ll work closely with primary care teams, consultants, and allied health professionals during a series of projects and placements - in general practice, outreach clinics, community hospitals, and care facilities.

You will of course spend time in hospitals – for example on medical and surgical wards, from specialized cancer treatment centers and psychiatric in-patient units to labor wards and research laboratories - but from your first weeks as a medical student you will meet patients in general practice and start to join them on their healthcare journey.
