MBBS In Kent and Medway Medical School

Kent and Medway Medical School (KMMS) is a medical school established jointly by the University of Kent and Canterbury Christ Church University. It is based in Kent and provides a five-year Medicine MBBS programme designed around the healthcare needs of Kent, Medway and the wider NHS.

KMMS was created to increase medical education capacity in Kent and Medway and to train doctors with a strong understanding of community healthcare. The medical school uses clinical placements across Kent and Medway, giving students experience in hospitals, general practice and community healthcare.

The programme combines biomedical science with clinical learning and professional development. Students are introduced to patients and healthcare environments early, while university-based learning develops the scientific foundation needed to understand disease.

The medical school has a strong regional identity. Rather than being located in central London, students learn in Kent and Medway healthcare environments and encounter a broad patient population across urban, rural and coastal communities.

KMMS uses a curriculum that integrates science, clinical medicine and professional practice. Students progress from foundational medical sciences and clinical skills into increasingly complex patient care and clinical placements.

The school has published its 2026/27 international tuition fee at £49,700 per year. KMMS states that international fees may increase in subsequent years, subject to its published fee policy.

For international applicants, admission is competitive and depends on the university's academic and admissions-test requirements. Applicants should check the current UCAT, academic qualification, English-language and interview requirements for the year in which they apply.

KMMS suits students who want a UK medical degree in a smaller regional medical school, with early clinical exposure, community-based healthcare experience and access to NHS clinical training across Kent and Medway.
