An undergraduate degree in medicine (MBBS) is an undergraduate course that usually takes up to six years. The first year will introduce you to medical studies and allow you to focus on one discipline. In the following years, there are specific courses that you must take, depending on your discipline; these courses range from anatomy and physiology to pharmacology and biochemistry. At the end of four or five years, you will have completed all necessary prerequisites and will then be able to apply for medical school.
