The same reimbursement eligibility criteria apply whichever college candidates choose.

We will share details on the new guidelines for all MRCP(UK) exams and how to claim once they become available. For full eligibility criteria and FAQs, please visit the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges (AoMRC) website.

Each College’s exam dates may vary slightly from the advertised assessment window depending on how the calendar falls, meaning exams may occasionally take place a little earlier or later than the dates listed above. Please also note that exams are not scheduled every day throughout the full assessment period.
