Professor Mary Morrell, Head of School on the first MMI (Multiple Mini Interviews) 2025

The Pears Cumbria School of Medicine is a collaborative and inclusive medical school. It will train skilled clinicians focussed on the delivery of high-quality person-centred care. 

The graduate-entry programme will open in August 2025 at the University of Cumbria’s Fusehill Street campus in Carlisle. The cohort of 58 students will study a bespoke four-year curriculum designed to train doctors who will help to improve health outcomes in Cumbria and the North West. 

The curriculum blends expertise from the highly-rated MBBS programme at Imperial College London, with University of Cumbria’s longstanding reputation in training allied health professionals. It has been created with regional NHS partners to truly reflect the future workforce, skills, health, and social care needs of the region and beyond.  

Students will gain early exposure to clinical practice alongside research-informed medical sciences teaching. Students will also complete a community-based project, linked with preventing disease and healthcare delivery. Clinical skills training and interprofessional collaborative learning will occur throughout the four-year programme.
