Yes, a January intake for MBBS is available at a few UK universities, most notably the University of Buckingham. Their GMC-accredited MB ChB Medicine programme offers a 4.5-year course starting in January, allowing for an earlier graduation compared to the standard September intake.

However, most UK universities do not offer a January intake for MBBS. The main intake for medical programmes is typically in September.
