Urology

Applications are made online (see Apply for guidance) and scans of supporting documentation will be required.

To be eligible you must:

• Upload a scan of an acceptable basic medical degree certificate, MBChB (or equivalent), as recognised by the General Medical Council.
• Upload a final degree transcript for your basic medical degree (this is an official university document, normally though not always issued at the same time as the degree is awarded. It lists all the courses and grades you received during your degree).
• Provide contact details of one referees. You will be given the opportunity to enter your referee\'s email addresses to the online form; the system will then email your referee automatically. This allows your referee to upload your reference electronically to your application. If you obtain your reference personally, the reference MUST be on the headed paper of his/her institution and must be signed by the referee.
• Prepare a personal statement confirming you are continuing your learning in a supervised clinical environment.
• If English is not your first language, you also need to provide evidence of proficiency in English. such as an IELTS or TOELF, any English language qualification tests must have been passed at the required level within two years of the start date of the programme. English language qualifications dated over two years ago are not acceptable. (see link below)

Prospective entrants would normally have acquired their MRCS (or equivalent assessment milestone) and be an Advanced Trainee in Urology (ST [specialist training years] 4 in UK or equivalent outside UK).

Eligible candidates will have completed a minimum of 18 months\' specialty training in urology before the proposed date of admission to the programme and will be pre-FRCS status.

If based in a training programme on commencement of ChM then you would be eligible to apply. For those candidates who already hold FRCS status, we will look at each application on a case-by-case basis and may accept if there is a substantive training element in their current post.
