Teaching

The Cruciform Building on Gower Street houses the main teaching facilities of the UCL Medical School; it was previously the main building of University College Hospital.

The medical school is one of the largest in the country with a yearly intake of 330 students. Undergraduate teaching is spread across three campuses based in Bloomsbury (the Cruciform, University College Hospital, the Elizabeth Garrett Anderson and Obstetric Hospital), at Archway (the Whittington Hospital and the former Royal Holborn Infirmary) and in Hampstead (the Royal Free Hospital).

It has arguably some of the best clinical sites in the country including: Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital The Heart Hospital The Royal ENT Hospital

The school is widely regarded as one of the best medical schools in the country (frequently ranked between number 1-5 in the country), it has a very distinguished faculty which inculdes 78 Fellows of the Academy of Medical Sciences amongst its staff.

A report published in November 2005 by the Higher Education Policy Institute (HEPI) found that RFUCMS had the highest expenditure per student, an average spend of £50,103 per student, of any medical school in the country, followed by Oxford University Medical School (£42,348) and Imperial College School of Medicine (£38,223).

Admission

Admission to the medical school, in common with all 32 medical schools in the UK, is extremely competitive. Prospective students must apply through the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS). Acceptable qualifications for entry include grades AAA at A-level, to include at least Chemistry and Biology, and a pass at AS-level. The International Baccalaureate (Full Diploma), although less common, is also an acceptable entry qualification. Additionally, applicants must sit an entrance exam, the BioMedical Admissions Test.

Undergraduate

Medicine

The course in medicine at Trinity College, Dublin, leads to the award of bachelor's degrees in arts, medicine, surgery and obstetrics (BA MB BCh BAO), and takes five years to complete. Students become eligible to take the degree of Bachelor of Arts, which is a Level 7 qualification (ordinary bachelor's degree) under Ireland's National Framework of Qualifications (NFQ), after successfully completing the third year; however, the degree is now usually conferred at the same time as the three final medical qualifications, which are all at NFQ Level 8 (honors bachelor's degree).

Options exist for students to read for an intercalated degree after completing at least three years of the programme: either an honors BA Moderatorship in an approved science subject, or for an intercalated Master of Science degree in biomedical sciences. Intercalated degrees are , again, usually conferred together with the final medical qualifications, and add an extra year to the student's course of study.
