About the M&D Foundation

Competition for places at UK medical and dental schools is as fierce as ever; with many medical schools only accepting three ‘A’s at A-Level, many students are diversifying and increasing their chances of securing places in the UK and abroad. For many students, the M&D Foundation is the first step on the road to medicine or dentistry.

The M&D Foundation course is a one year course run at Albion College in Central London. The course teaches students the basis of knowledge required to study medicine at university, and provides an understanding of how the human body works through the lens of physiology, genetics and molecular biology, cells and tissues, microbiology and chemistry. Students who complete the course and attain a score of 65% or above can gain direct entrance to the M&D Pre-Med programme at the University of Sussex – International students will need an IELTS score of at least 6.5 in addition to this.

Alongside the in-depth preparation for studying medicine, this course also provides excellent advice on applications made to medical and dental schools, such as filling out your UCAS forms, United Kingdom Clinical Aptitude Test (UKCAT) preparation and help with interviewing.

The M&D Foundation is the first part of a journey into medicine and dentistry, on a path with many outcomes. To see a diagram of these outcomes, please see our Progression Routes diagram.

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.
