Matching Process for Students Going to Partner Medical Schools (PMS) Abroad
The matching process is carried out early in the fifth semester (undergraduate entry) and sixth semester (graduate entry). It is computerised and completely impartial. The students state their choice of PMS in strict order of preference. The PMS also rank the students based on their academic performance, student attributes and involvement in co-curricular activities. The computerised programme gives 5 times greater weighting to the students’ choice over the PMS ranking of students.

Duration of Medical Programme
Full duration of study: 5 to 5½ years (depending on the University)

If you choose this route, you will compete for a place in every PMS, except University of New South Wales, Deakin University and University of Warwick.

Pathway to Partner Medical School through a undergraduate entry
This is the current PMS route that the majority of our medical students take. You will be matched to a Partner Medical School for another 2½ years to 3 years upon successfully completing Phase 1.

* The list of Partner Medical Schools is subject to change from time to time.

Duration of Medical Programme
Full duration of study: 5½ to 6 years (depending on the University)

For University of Warwick, student with a first degree on entry may transfer after 2½ years. Students without a first degree will have to spend another year to complete the IMU Bachelor of Medical Sciences (Hons) to be eligible to transfer. The IMU Bachelor of Medical Sciences (Hons) is one year programme. Please click HERE for more information on this programme.

The qualification should fulfil the following, with final approval from the University of Warwick:

• IMU Students can transfer to a graduate school to complete the Second Part provided that they have a First Degree in any field at the required standard. IMU will also consider matriculation/ pre-u qualifications when selecting students. IMU will also look at the maturity level of the students.
• The minimum entry requirement for IMU for the inception into the Medical Programme with an:
  i) Undergraduate level Degree at Second Upper class (GPA 3.20 and above) and the Degree must be for an Honours-Level programme or equivalent
  OR
  ii) An Undergraduate level Degree at Second Lower class (GPA 3.00-3.19) AND a postgraduate level (e.g. Masters or PhD) Previous Degree at a pass level. 
• IMU students must have IELTS academic score of 7.0 or above with a minimum of 7.0 in two components and 6.5 in another two components of the test or equivalent qualifications as defined by UoW taken within the last two (2) years at the point of application to UoW, or if already achieved on entry to IMU, within two (2) years of commencing the first part of the programme.

# For University of Warwick, student with a first degree on entry may transfer after 2½ years.
## For University of New South Wales, students are required to complete the IMU Bachelor in Medical Sciences (Hons) prior to transfer.
### UNSW however, accepts First Degree on case to case basis.
#### For Deakin University, students are required to complete the IMU Bachelor in Medical Sciences (Hons) with Second Class Upper with a CGPA of 3.00 (on a 4 point scale). Students must also have IELTS overall score of 7.0 (with no band score less than 7.0 in each component of test).

Pathway to Partner Medical School through a graduate entry
These graduate medical schools normally only admit candidates with a first degree eg BSc into their 4-year programme. Because of the unique nature of the IMU Bachelor of Medical Sciences (Hons) degree, candidates with this degree are given credit for exemption to part of the 4-year course. This can result in considerable savings in tuition fees and living expenses overseas.

You will be matched to one of the three graduate-entry medical schools mentioned above.

1. Do not have a degree at the time of entry into IMU you will do Phase 1 (2½ years). You can qualify for entry into the BMedSci degree if you have not failed any major examination during Phase 1. To get the IMU Bachelor of Medical Sciences (BMed Sci)(Hons) degree, you will have to remain for 6 months to complete a research-based degree, the BMed Sci at the IMU. You must achieve an upper second class degree. If you do not achieve an upper second class degree, or have failed a major examination in Phase 1, every effort will be made to offer you a place in an undergraduate PMS. In the unlikely event that there is no PMS place, there will be a place for you in the IMU Clinical School.
2. Have an UPPER SECOND CLASS degree when you enter IMU, you could transfer to UW upon successfully completing Phase 1 (2½ years) in IMU, provided you have not failed any major examination during the course.
   • Through a matching process, you will spend 3 years at the UW.
   • You will have 2 degrees (BMed Sci from IMU and the MBBS equivalent from the PMS).

* The list of Partner Medical Schools is subject to change from time to time.
