MBBS Programme Changes

I am writing with important information about the start of our MBBS programme. Our application has been open for September 2021 entry, and indeed it was our intention that our first cohort should start at that time. Unfortunately, due to challenges caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, we have taken the difficult decision to delay the date that our first cohort of students enters the MBBS programme.
We are planning for a revised start date of January 2022, with a 4.5-year programme that would allow students to graduate in July 2026 (the same as if they had started in September 2021). We are seeking the advice and approval of the UK General Medical Council (GMC) for our proposed new start date, and we have now submitted the necessary documentation to them. The GMC may approve the January 2022 start date, or may require us to delay this until September 2022. We will update you on the decision for the revised start date, and what impact this has on applications, as soon as possible. We would also be offering a fee reduction in recognition of the reduced length of the programme, starting in January 2022.
At Brunel Medical School (BMS), we are committed to ensuring that all our medical students will benefit from a high-quality digitalised curriculum, clinical placements in the West London area, experienced staff, first class facilities, and the necessary IT infrastructure. Our plan to delay the launch of the medical school by four months is to ensure all this is in place well in advance of the arrival of our first students. Pending the GMC’s decision about the new start date, we regret that we are unable to advise you about progressing any applications to the interview stage.
We will be back in touch once our revised start date is confirmed, which is expected within the next 6 weeks. We will then begin to schedule interviews. In the meantime, please accept our sincere apologies for the current situation.
We will be notifying our applicants about this delay later today.
Professor Naomi Low-BeerDean, Brunel Medical School
