Application information

Entry requirements

Main All of our MD (Res) students must hold an undergraduate medical qualification awarded by a UK University or an equivalent qualification from outside of the UK and hold full or limited registration with the General Medical Council (GMC). At ARU's discretion an applicant without GMC registration may be admitted providing their research does not involve contact with patients. Applicants are normally clinicians undertaking research associated with their employment. Typically you’ll be a medical graduate at ST level in any clinical speciality. However, we welcome applications from any medical doctor, including consultants or established general practitioners, and career grade and SAS doctors at any stage of their training and career. You must be able to devote a substantial amount of time to research. This may mean taking time out from your clinical obligations to do a piece of full-time research, and then devoting further study leave during clinical training to complete the work.
