Starting medical school at AUC has numerous advantages.
Our campus in Cupecoy, St. Maarten—where most students in the four-year MD program complete their first two years of academic study—provides medical students with a modern learning environment equipped with powerful technological and academic resources.
AUC’s UK-Track medical degree program provides an opportunity for non-US citizen students to earn a Doctor of Medicine degree through study in the United Kingdom.
Where can I practice medicine as an AUC graduate?
You’ll be eligible to apply for licensure to practice in all 50 US states, Canada, to the UK and beyond.
How selective is AUC's admissions process?
At AUC, we have rigorous standards when considering applicants. Yes, we look at the whole person—we want to know about one’s life experience, volunteerism, maturity, and commitment—but we also look closely at how a candidate performed academically as an undergraduate and their MCAT score.
Are there scholarships available?
AUC is proud to have awarded more than $55 million USD in scholarships since 2009. Scholarships are available to those who apply and qualify. Please see our full listing here.
How can I get my Visa?
Once accepted, AUC will assist you with obtaining your visa to study in the U.K.
We will provide you a document with step-by-step instructions and guidance to make this process seamless.
Once your visa application is successful, UK Visas and Immigration will issue you a one-month entry clearance via a sticker in your passport, which will allow you to enter the UK.
More information about the visa application process is available from the UK Government website.
