Overview

Our innovative Medical Foundation Programme is designed for international students wishing to progress to medicine, dentistry, pharmacy and life science undergraduate degrees, including biomedical sciences and pharmacology.

Successful completion offers a pathway to medical degrees and related programmes in the UK, Europe and the Caribbean.  To progress to medical or dentistry schools you will also need to pass an interview. IFG prepares you for this with extensive practice and ‘mock’ interviews as well as advice on course choices and your university application.

The Medical Foundation Programme has been developed with an understanding of the academic requirements of medical and dental schools as well as the skills you will need for your medical studies.  It also offers you the opportunity to conduct your own projects, using the research skills required at university.
