Medicine (MBChB) Programme 內外全科醫學士課程
MBChB
Short Description
The 6-year full-time programme adopts a unique SMART medical curriculum, allowing us to nurture competent and compassionate doctors who are amply qualified both to meet the challenges of modern-day health care and to serve the community with clinical excellence and passion.
The SMART curriculum:
- Student-centred
- Mentorship-based
- Assured knowledge acquisition
- Robust clinical teaching
- Teaching ethics and professionalism
Students admitted on the basis of the HKDSE or a recognised HKDSE-equivalent qualification are required to complete six years of study to qualify for the degrees of Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBChB).
After the successful completion of a one-year internship in an approved hospital in Hong Kong, graduates become registered medical practitioners.
Remarks:
1. High-achieving students with outstanding HKDSE results may be offered an option of admission to Year 2 as well as an intercalated enrichment year.

Some programmes may have specific arrangements and the admission scores of candidates seeking admission on the strength of results from more than one sitting of HKDSE may be adjusted.
