Its core campuses are located at South Kensington, St Mary's, Charing Cross, Hammersmith and Chelsea and Westminster.

In 2019, the medical school launched their new curriculum, integrating more team-based learning, social science, and early clinical experience into their course, which translates into broader fields of medicine, such as psychology.

There is also a module that focuses on the wider determinants of health, looking at social, political, and economical factors which affect patients spanning the first two years of the course.

Finally, an innovative series of team-based cases integrating the clinical and scientific approach to various common diseases running through the first three years, where students work in, and are assessed, as a team.

Phase 2 involves study for the BSc, comprising three 5-week modules then a 10-week supervised research project or specialist course, leading to a BSc (Hons) in Medical Sciences with one of the following: Anaesthesia and Critical Care; Biomedical Engineering; Cancer Frontiers; Cardiovascular Sciences; Endocrinology; Gastroenterology and Hepatology; Global Health; Molecular and Translational Haematology; Humanities, Philosophy and Law; Immunity and infection; Management; Neuroscience and Mental Health; Pharmacology; Remote Medicine; Reproductive and Developmental Sciences; Surgical Design, Technology and Innovation; and Translational Respiratory Medicine.

The following specialist courses are available instead of undertaking a research project: Medical Humanities, History of Medicine, Epidemiology, and International Health.

Phase 3a covers the specialties of obstetrics and genecology, radiology, pediatrics, psychiatry, oncology, general practice, critical care, infectious diseases, dermatology, rheumatology and orthopedics through clinical attachments.

Students learn to ‘think like a scientist’ with a research-intensive, laboratory-focused curriculum, whilst attending workshops on critical health issues and modules in science communication and ethics aimed to broaden their outlook and employability skills.

In the third-year students will choose specialist modules, each of which examines a global health problem, and a final year project.

Students have the option to complete a 20-week intensive research project; a placement; or undertake a dissertation on a biomedical science topic.

Students also have the option of studying for a 4th year with Imperial College Business School, graduating in BSc Medical Biosciences with Management.
