Career
A medical qualification from St GeorgeÕs is quality-assured and recognised internationally. With our MBBS you willÊbe perfectly placed to contribute to the ongoing development of medicine and healthcare provision globally.
Through an integrated study programme of medical sciences and clinical sciences, graduates are fully equipped to perform well in theÊGMC Foundation ProgrammeÊand further develop the essential knowledge and competencies needed to pursue a specialist discipline. The majority of our MBBS graduates choose to remain in the south London area, and to complete their two-yearÊFoundation ProgrammeÊat one of our affiliated healthcare trusts.
At the end of the undergraduate course you will receive your MBBS degree, which is a primary medical qualification (PMQ). Holding a PMQ entitles you to provisional registration with the General Medical Council, subject only to its acceptance that there are no fitness to practise concerns. Provisionally registered doctors can only practise in approved foundation yearÊone posts; the law does not allow provisionally registered doctors to undertake any other type of work.
