The A990 is a six-year medical program exclusively for Canadian citizens or permanent residents classified as international students for tuition. This pathway is tailored for those planning to pursue postgraduate medical training in Canada. It offers a faster route to medical qualification compared to studying in Canada or the United States.
A990 students benefit from a distinctive structure: they earn a BSc Honours in Medicine from St Andrews in three years, then transfer to Edinburgh Medical School to complete their MD training (MBChB degree). The program includes support for securing Canadian residency placements for postgraduate specialization.
This curriculum delivers a robust scientific base for clinical work, cultivates ethical reasoning abilities, and offers early hands-on clinical exposure within a nurturing academic setting.
