BSc Honours Medical Sciences in London United Kingdom | University of Westminster

The Medical Sciences BSc Honours is a three-year undergraduate program that serves both as an independent degree and a pre-clinical pathway, enabling graduates to transition directly into the third year of the Doctor of Medicine and Surgery (MD) program at our international partner institution, the University of Malta.

With a century-long tradition of medical education recognized in the UK, the University of Malta delivers its MD program entirely in English to a multicultural student community representing more than 90 nations.

Progression to the University of Malta's MD program requires successful completion of the Medical Sciences BSc Honours with at least a lower second-class (2:2) classification. Additionally, candidates must complete the anatomy and Medical Maltese Summer School and obtain the Certificate in Medical Maltese Proficiency.
