M&D Medical Foundation Programme


While there is an increasing demand for doctors and dentists to work in the UK, it is extremely difficult to secure a place at a British Medical School. The 1-year M&D Foundation Programme taught at Albion College, in the heart of London, offers an attractive alternative.

Who is this course suited for:
  • As this course is entry level, students of all backgrounds and nationalities are welcome to apply. Most students that are unable to gain entry directly onto the one year M&D Pre-Med course at the University of Sussex may opt to take this one year foundation programme.
  • This course is also suited for graduates holding a B.Sc. degree that require a module or two (such as Psychology , Chemistry, Advanced English & Communication, etc.) before going directly onto the 4 year graduate medical programme at St Matthews University.

    Students will be given excellent advice on application to medical and dental schools, such as UCAS application form, personal statements, UKCAT and interview preparation.

    The programme helps students to acquire the knowledge base and academic skills necessary to study Medicine at degree level. It provides an understanding of how the human body works through the study of physiology, genetics and molecular biology, cells and tissues, microbiology and chemistry.

    Although excellent preparation for entry to a UK medical or dental school will be given, a place can not be guaranteed. However, successful completion (60% or over + IELTS 6.5) of this programme does secure progression onto the following courses:

  • 6-Year Medical Degree Course at the Medical University of Gdansk, Poland. This course is taught entirely in English and recognized by the General Medical Council in the UK.
  • The M&D Pre-Med Programme at the University of Sussex in Brighton. This programme has an excellent record in securing students places at UK Medical Schools. Successful students are also given a confirmed place at St. Matthews University School of Medicine in the British Cayman Islands on a 4 year graduate course where 2 years are spent on campus and 2 years in UK.

    All students accepted onto the M&D Foundation will be given an Official Letter of Conditional Acceptance from the above institutions upon successful application and enrolment.

    Parts of the M&D Foundation Programme may be completed by students that wish to apply directly to St. Matthew’s University and require additional modules, such as Psychology and Advanced English & Communication.

    For those with insufficient language skills, the M&D Foundation Programme is combined with English language tuition and IELTS preparation classes.

    For further information, course content or general questions please contact us or Albion College.

    Here is a testimonial from a previous student that attended Albion College:

    For all those considering going medical school's listed with M&D Europe be rest assured in being given a first-class service and excellent support in gaining a place at medical school. I was helped all along at every stage, through the telephone and email in achieving a place at SMU beginning in Jan 2007. The staff as usual was always at hand, extremely friendly, and helpful even at difficult times. I would recommend them to anyone.

    My 5 weeks spent at Albion College in Holborn to complete prerequisites for SMU was excellent. I was very impressed with its setup and especially its staff who were very friendly, supportive, and helpful. The teaching was exceptional and all together made my experience at the college memorable.

    Many UK medical schools and dental schools receive many applications to study medicine or study dentistry and places are very limited. Therefore, the preparation of a UCAS application form for medical or dental school is very important. Online Medical Admission forums are an excellent way to exchange views and ideas on what medical schools are looking for and which medical and which dental schools actually ask the toughest interview questions. The premed course is an excellent way to secure a place at a UK medical schools in the UK or medical schools based abroad. Medical and dental school applicants are strongly advised to get as much medical work experience and possible. Medical work experience seminars and dental work experience seminars consist of a series of medical seminars and dental seminars at a NHS hospital based in Britain. Many students also fine that UKCAT revision and UCAS Personal statement checking is very helpful.
    Fierce competition for UK medical school places has encouraged students to embark on medical degrees and dental degrees outside of the UK, such as: Medical schools in Poland, Medical schools in Slovakia, Dental schools in Slovakia, Medical schools in Prague, Dental schools in Prague and Medical schools in the Caribbean.
