Queen Mary University of London – Malta

Queen Mary University of London’s Malta programme combines a UK medical curriculum and degree with study in the Mediterranean. The programme is delivered through Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry in partnership with the Maltese government.

Barts and The London has a long-standing place in UK medical education, while Queen Mary is a member of the Russell Group. The Malta programme extends that academic tradition through a dedicated international campus and local clinical environment.

Medicine is taught and assessed in English by Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry and leads to a Queen Mary University of London award. The programme is approved by the General Medical Council (GMC), and graduates may begin FY1 and FY2 training in Malta subject to the rules in force when they qualify.

Students study in Malta, where English is an official language and can be used with patients and the wider community. The island setting offers a distinct alternative to studying the same curriculum in London.

Applications are made outside UCAS, effectively providing an additional UK medical-school choice. A-level applicants need AAA achieved in one sitting over no more than two years: an A in Biology or Chemistry, an A in a second science, and an A in another subject excluding Critical Thinking and General Studies. IB applicants need 37 points with 6, 6, 5 at Higher Level, including Biology or Chemistry plus a second science or Mathematics. Applicants must sit UCAT in the year before entry and achieve at least the third decile. Shortlisted candidates are interviewed by Zoom. Medical Doorway coordinates the application free of charge.
