*The 3-year first-time residency attainment rate is the weighted average of the 2022-23, through 2024-25 academic years. For each year, the rate is the percent of students attaining a residency out of all graduates or expected graduates in the year who were active applicants in the NRMP match in that year or who attained a residency outside the NRMP match in that year. The 1-year first-time residency attainment rate is 95% for 2024-2025 graduates.
AUC's UK Track has achieved a 97% first-time residency attainment rate* since its inaugural graduating class in 2023-24.

UNDERGRADUATE DEGREE
Designed for Students Pursuing Their First Degree
For qualified students who have not yet earned a Bachelor’s degree, this accelerated pathway offers a chance to earn your MD in about six years. Through partnerships with the University of Lancashire and the University of Wolverhampton, students complete a two-year BSc (Hon), which AUC recognizes as equivalent credit for semester 1 of our standard medical sciences curriculum.
Undergraduate Degree Details
Students who successfully complete the BSc (Hons) Medical Sciences degree at 2.1 or above will then complete AUC's medical sciences curriculum, starting in the second semester. After completing the medical sciences curriculum, students then proceed to USMLE Step 1 and the clinical sciences portion of the program. Students in this track can earn their medical degree in five and a half years.
Students must complete University of Lancashire's two-year BSc (Hons) Medical Sciences with at least a 2.1. This program includes content from AUC medical sciences Semesters 1.
Students then have two options: (A) remain in the U.K. to complete AUC's medical sciences curriculum (Semesters 2-5) through the delivery of a post graduate diploma in International Medical Sciences from University of Lancashire, or (B) move to St. Maarten to complete AUC's medical sciences curriculum (Semesters 2-5).
Students must take and pass USMLE Step 1 to proceed to the clinical sciences portion of the program.
Students complete clinical clerkship rotations in the wide network of AUC-affiliated teaching hospitals.
