Being a doctor is one of the most rewarding professions. We use our skills to alleviate suffering and where possible effect a cure. Medical training at King’s will see students learn from some of the world’s most eminent clinicians and scientists who are global leaders in life sciences and medical research.

As we train the medical leaders of tomorrow, our curriculum is distinctive in both ambition and approach. It is ground-breaking in design and fully integrated. Blending biomedical sciences, population sciences and clinical practice, it provides early authentic clinical experiences to truly bring medicine to life.

King’s is one of the most highly respected teaching institutions in medicine, benefiting from partnerships with three prestigious and busy teaching hospitals in central and south London – Guy’s, King’s College and St Thomas’ Hospitals.King’s graduates will be distinguishable as critical scientific thinkers, champions for mental health and leaders in service quality improvement – equipped to address healthcare challenges on a local and global scale.

King’s offer a number of different entry routes alongside the conventional five-year Medicine MBBS, including conversion from Dentistry and other science disciplines and an innovative programme aimed at broadening access to the medical profession.

Alongside the benefits of an outstanding medical education, King’s has a robust system of pastoral and academic support across many societies and is twinned with leading medical schools around the world, providing opportunities for clinical exchanges and placements around the world.

Medicine at King’s will, of course, take you into a career as a doctor. Initially you will undertake further clinical training before registering with the General Medical Council in the UK. You may then choose to focus in any one of a vast range of disciplines, either in hospital or general practice, in private practice or within the growing number of large corporates, charities and NGOs that employ medically qualified professionals in both clinical and advisory roles.

There are also extensive opportunities to continue down an academic route, either to earn additional specialist qualifications or to specialise in medical research. For more information about these opportunities, see our range of Postgraduate Taught and Postgraduate Research programmes.
