Overview

The Medicine MB programme from the Queen's University Belfast has close ties with the Northern Ireland community as part of its educational, research and outreach programmes. Our ‘Patients as Partners’ make a valuable contribution to the education of medical students, through their participation in the selection of medical students to the programme, teaching sessions, as well as assessments.

Students in the Medicine course at Queen's University Belfast are welcomed in all of the hospitals within the region and in over 150 general practices. Students comment on the ease of access to high quality clinical teaching.

As medical practice changes, so our course has changed to meet the challenges of 21st Century healthcare.

Career opportunities:

At the end of the undergraduate course you will receive your MB BCh BAO degree, which is a Primary Medical Qualification (PMQ). Holding a PMQ entitles you to apply for provisional registration with the GMC.
On successful completion of the first year of this training period you become a fully registered doctor; however, whichever branch of medicine you intend to pursue, you will be required to undertake further training. For example, to enter General Practice you will require a further three years‘ training. To become a hospital consultant you may require a further seven years of specialty training.
