The Undergraduate Curriculum is five years in duration and consists of a three-year Stage 1 programme and two further years in Stage 2. It includes both structured and unstructured time.

Most of the structured time is spent completing the courses covering the core content (that which all students must learn) while the remainder is used to complete special study modules and electives.

In Stage 1, a modular, system-based approach is used, with courses designed to encourage integration between the basic medical science subjects and the clinical (patient-centered) disciplines. "Health" rather than "disease" is emphasized although students begin to encounter patients as early as the first year. On successful completion of Stage 1, students are eligible for the award of a Bachelors Degree in Basic Medical Science (B.Med.Sci.) and to continue into the final two years of the MB,BS programme.

In Stage 2, the final two years of the programme is primarily hospital based and consists of a series of rotating clerkships in the main clinical disciplines with emphasis on general training rather than on specialist hospital practice. On successful completion of the programme, graduates are required to complete an 18 month pre-registration internship before being fully to undertake independent practice.
