Medical Programs
The dual Bachelor of Science/Doctor of Medicine Degree (BSc/MD) program is designed for students in the preclinical phase of MD program who do not hold a first degree and wish to earn a Bachelor of Science degree at St. George’s University.
Students who enter the University in the first or second year of the preclinical track may earn a bachelor’s degree upon acceptance into and completion of their first year of the four-year MD program.
Students who directly enter the third year of the preclinical track (with Advanced Levels or an International Baccalaureate) have to complete additional coursework to be eligible for this degree. Applicants interested in this program will be evaluated for transfer credit.
Only qualified students who are enrolled in the BSc/MD degree program will be eligible to receive a Bachelor of Science degree at the end of the first year of the four-year MD program.
Dual-Degree Program Admission
Dual degrees to give your medical training an even greater impact.
Candidates interested in our dual-degree program must submit an application for entry into St. George’s School of Medicine and include the Graduate Addendum.
