man all this has made me thinking now :confused:. I was planning to study in UK, i guess i might as well stay in USA or try different medical school in UK


Don't be put off the UK, just apply to other established medical schools and you'll be fine :smile: though you will have to wait for next years application cycle now, but one year's shorter than completing a 4 year US degree then studying medicine in the in the US :smile:

The course hasn't been GMC certified but its very similar to the course at Leicester and the prospectus says that it has been derived from Leicester's course so I'm sure it wouldn't be too much of a problem to get it GMC certified?

Just curious why you want to know if it is certified by MCI :confused:.
Any interviews yet??

If it doesn't have GMC accreditation or is not listed in the WHO directory then the degree wouldn't be worth the paper it's printed on. Until there are indications it has GMC accreditation I would steer well clear. This may be the reason they are recruiting now for January 2015 entry in the hope they get accreditation by then. They were supposed to have a dental school and went as far as making offers only for them to be shut down by the GDC.


Hi, i was told by school staff that every new medical school has to go through GMC process, and once first cohort is graduated, school gets accreditation which i have no doubt it won't.

Anyone in buckingham right now for the interview tmr?
You know the fees are crazy high, do you think the army and NHS could pay for them if you were to go and work for them afterwards?

As international student fees are comparable to most of UK medical schools ( UCL etc), in terms of if NHS or Army would sponsor you after you graduate i don't know answer to that question.

Did you you apply to program ?

Cheers!!

Na, I might next year.
Well it's not, the fees a year in most of the places I have looked at range from 3000-9000 euros per annum.
