Health Professions Foundation Programme
The Health Professions Foundation Programme is a 1-Year bridge pathway for students who need to strengthen their Biology, Chemistry, and Physics grounding before direct entry into MD, MBBS, Dentistry, or Nursing degree programs. It is the most common route for students from India and across the Caribbean and Africa transitioning into medical study abroad without meeting direct-entry science requirements.
