Durham University School of Medicine, Pharmacy and Health was founded in 2001 as a partner with the Newcastle University Medical School to educate medical students in the first phase of their medical education (Years 1 and 2). On 1 August 2017 it was transferred to Newcastle University, becoming part of Newcastle's Faculty of Medical Sciences and relocating to Newcastle.
The School of Medicine, Pharmacy and Health was located on the of the University of Durham, with students being members of one of the two colleges on this campus - John Snow and George Stephenson College.
In July 2016 it was announced that the school would be fully transferred to Newcastle University to "ensure a coherent and sustainable regional medical education provision for the future". The Queen's Campus will remain in the ownership of Durham University. Pharmacy students are transferring to Newcastle for the 2017/18 academic year while the 2016/17 MBBS intake will be taught out at Stockton in 2017/18.
The yearly intake quota for medical students at Durham was 102, 95 home student places and 7 Overseas places.
The conditional offer given to a student taking A-Level examinations was AAA, to include Biology and/or Chemistry at A-Level, and whichever may be missing at AS-Level. Since October 2007 entrants must take the UKCAT prior to applying, an exam aimed at facilitating choosing between similarly high-achieving applicants, akin to the BMAT.
As with all UK medical students, successful applicants must have proof of immunity or non-infectivity against Hepatitis B, Diphtheria, Polio, Rubella, Tetanus, Varicella and Tuberculosis. Without complete immunisation, offers may be withdrawn.
