Prospective student applications to study medicine at KMMS next September 2020, closed on 15th October 2019.

The region’s new medical school received 14 applications for every one place, with student applicants from Kent leading the way.

Professor Chris Holland, Founding Dean of the Kent and Medway Medical School, said: “We’re delighted that applications to our medical school are so high, and it’s particularly encouraging to see so many from our region.

“KMMS and its students will play a significant role in supporting the NHS in Kent and Medway and help to address some of the issues the region has with attracting and retaining medical professionals by offering training and development opportunities.”

The medical school will open in September 2020 and will offer 100 undergraduate places on a yearly basis.

In March 2018 the Government and Health Education England announced that a joint bid by Canterbury Christ Church University and the University of Kent to establish a medical school had been successful, making the KMMS the first ever medical school for Kent and Medway.

The five year undergraduate programme will be taught at the Canterbury campuses of both university partners with medical placements within Primary, Community and Secondary Care across Kent and Medway, resulting in Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery (BM BS*) jointly awarded by the University of Kent and Canterbury Christ Church University.
