Brunel University London

Achieving an MBBS degree from Brunel Medical School will provide you with a primary medical qualification (PMQ). Holding a PMQ allows you to apply for provisional registration with the General Medical Council (GMC) and license to practise in approved Foundation Year 1 posts in the UK.

As a UK medical graduate, following successful award of the MBBS degree, you will be eligible to apply to the UK Foundation Programme for Foundation Year (FY) Clinical Training (subject to Visa Regulations at the time).

Please note that Foundation training is remunerated by the NHS Trusts to which you are allocated. International students will not be paying fees but will receive remuneration.

The Foundation School to which you are allocated will be dependent on your allocated FY1 post. *

Entry onto the Foundation Programme requires an applicant to have the right to work in the UK and places on the programme are not guaranteed for every UK graduate. If successful and able to join the UK Foundation Programme, you will be a salaried junior doctor, of which the first year (FY1) is the starting point for pursuing a medical career in the UK and is also an excellent preparation for careers overseas.

• 2 Years PSW is applicable after completing a minimum duration of 9 months course (like- Undergraduate, Postgraduate Level)
• 3 Years PSW is applicable after completing PhD level courses.
