Course summary
The MBChB Medicine and Surgery with a Gateway Year is a six-year course offering a pathway to a degree in Medicine for UK applicants who meet our widening participation criteria and do not meet the academic requirements for A100, our five-year MBChB programme. The Gateway Year is designed to prepare you for successful progression onto Year 1 of the MBChB programme by developing your knowledge, academic writing and independent study skills. During this time, you will study a range of modules covering topics in biology, biomedicine and chemistry, in addition to being introduced to vital aspects in Medicine, including Sociology and Psychology of Health, and Medical Ethics. After successful completion of the Gateway Year you will begin Year 1 of the MBChB programme. If you fail to meet the academic criteria for progression onto Year 1 of the MBChB, you may be eligible to progress onto the second year of another degree offered by Lancaster University’s Faculty of Health and Medicine.
