Hey Megamind,

This is not the best place to ask about postgraduate programmes since our forum focuses mainly on MBChB (undergrad) degrees. However, according to Aberdeen Med School's MD/ChM website, an eligible applicant for Doctor of Medicine/Surgery degree needs to either be a University of Aberdeen medical graduate or a graduate of recognized university who held a research or teaching post in Aberdeen or Inverness area for a minimum of 2 years prior to applying to the programme. He/she would have to be fully registered with GMC during that teaching/research period.

As far as the GMC registration is concerned, I suspect it might be quite challenging in this case (for a graduate of a University outside of EU who's not an EU citizen). Source:
GMC | Registration for international medical graduates

I'm afraid passing the PLAB would be required (unless you completed internship at an institution recognized by GMC).
