Queen Mary University Malta

Hello! I'm curious about the differences between Queen Mary University in Malta and its counterpart in London. Can anyone shed some light on any significant distinctions between them? Moreover, after the MBBS program, I am aware that there isn't a Masters program in Malta. So what is the way forward? Can we come to the UK and apply for a master's because we have the same degree as the students in Queen Mary London? And can someone inform me about the work opportunities afterward as well? Thank you so much

Hey! Typically after an MBBS degree you apply for foundation years (FY1 in the UK) rather than a Master’s course. As the QMUL Malta degree holds the same value and is the same as graduating with a normal QMUL MBBS degree in London, it is the same process for applying to FY1 positions in the UK. It is also listed in the world directory of medical schools so the degree will allow for work as a doctor in most countries. Hope this helps !!

Thank you so much for your informative reply!
However, I wanted to clarify a few points:
Following completion of the MBBS program, is there typically no master's course (MD) in medicine? Additionally, I understand this question might be somewhat unrelated to my previous inquiry, but under the new system, is it mandatory for all medical students to take the UKMLA examination? And at what stage do candidates typically sit for this exam?
Thank you once again 🙂

Also, to answer about differences between the 2 QMUL MBBS courses- the courses are very similar and they’re taught using the same curriculum. The main difference is, of course, the location, but the course follows the same structure, pro-sections for anatomy, Problem based learning, student selected components etc!

thank you so so much for the information!! I am truly grateful for the assistance 🙂
