International applications
We are happy to accept applications from applicants who are attending Medical Schools outside of the UK, subject to the following criteria:
- International applicants must be studying a Medicine qualification that is the equivalent of a UK MBBS degree. Whilst we allow applications from Dental and Veterinary schools within the UK, we cannot extend this to applicants applying from outside the UK
- International applicants must have been studying this programme for at least 2 years
- International applicants must meet Band B English requirement
- Applicants must be attending a Medical School that has genuine equivalency with the programme at King’s. There are two ways that we can check for this:
-
- If the country in which you are attending Medical School has signed up to the WFME accreditation programme, your medical school must be on this list.
- If the country is not on this list, your application will be passed to our Admissions tutors who will assess the curriculum that you are currently being taught for equivalency.
King’s reserves the right to make a decision on whether an individual university has a programme that is a genuine equivalent to its MBBS programme.
Important information for student visa holders:
Under the requirements of UK Visas & Immigration (UKVI), students visa holders who wish to add an intercalated programme will need to extend their visa. Internal students can request this via Student Services Online.External Candidates studying at a non-UK and Ireland institution who would require a Student Visa for their Intercalated study cannot enrol without providing either:
- Written confirmation from your University that your programme is taught AND examined in English, OR
- Valid evidence of meeting our ELR band B.
If you do not have either document at time of application and you are made an offer, this will be made conditional on meeting the above requirement alongside completing your current year of study.
