What this university is, in practice
Imperial runs a six-year MBBS with an integrated BSc, in the most expensive city in this catalog. At €67,759 a year it is the third-dearest of the 35 UK medicine programs here, and six years in London brings the all-in figure to roughly €500,800 — tuition plus living, before anything else.
Six years, and an intercalated degree
The qualification recorded here is MBBS with BSc, over six years. Most UK medicine in this catalog runs five: of the 35 records with a published fee, twenty-four are five-year courses, six run six years, four run four and one runs four and a half.
The sixth year is a BSc integrated into the medical degree rather than an extension of it. That is a real difference in what you graduate holding, and it is also a year of tuition and living costs — in London, the most expensive combination available in this catalog.
£58,600 per academic year for overseas students, confirmed for 2026/27, converting to about €67,759 at the ECB planning rate this site uses. Six years is roughly €406,554 in tuition. Only two UK programs here are dearer per year: Cambridge at €81,581 and Glasgow at €72,534.
London, at €15,700 a year
On this site's cost presets London runs about €15,700 a year in housing and other living costs — the highest figure of any location in this catalog, ahead of Kingston upon Thames at €14,100, Oxford at €13,200 and Cambridge at €12,700. Over six years that is about €94,200.
Tuition and living together come to roughly €500,800. The comparison worth holding is with Buckingham, also profiled today: about €298,100 all-in for a 4.5-year degree, or roughly €202,700 less. Both award a UK medical qualification taught in English.
That is not an argument that they are interchangeable. It is a statement of what the six-year London option costs relative to the range, and a reason to be clear about what you are buying with the difference.
A in biology and A in chemistry, specifically
The published requirement is a minimum of AAA including an A in biology and an A in chemistry plus a third subject, with UCAT taken in the year of application, academic and UCAT shortlisting, and then a multiple mini interview. English-language standards, occupational health, DBS or police and fitness-to-practise requirements apply.
Naming which subjects the A grades must be in is more specific than the AAA that most UK schools publish. At Lancaster, for example, the requirement is AAA including two sciences with at least one of biology or chemistry — a candidate with chemistry and physics qualifies there and not here.
The requirement that UCAT be taken in the year of application is also worth noting: a score from a previous cycle does not carry over, which matters for anyone reapplying.
English is the clinical language. The UCAS calendar applies — the 2026-entry deadline of 15 October 2025 has passed; for 2027 entry UCAS opens 12 May 2026, the medicine deadline is 15 October 2026 at 18:00 UK time, UCAT testing runs 13 July to 24 September 2026, and interviews are usually November to March.
Who this suits
Applicants who want an integrated BSc alongside the medical degree and can fund six years in London, who hold A grades specifically in biology and chemistry, and who will sit the UCAT in their application year rather than relying on an earlier score.
