Exploring graduate entry into medicine

Hi Yusria, it looks like the next one is 19th Feb 2010 - Helen

Hello Michelle, I do not know of any courses in particular, but I am less familiar with schools in Italy. You can find medical schools there using this link http://avicenna.ku.dk/database/WHO_directory/ and some entries give details of how long the courses are and what language they are taught in. Hope that is useful. - Helen

Hi Fatima, some medical schools would certainly accept you on GEM as they will in fact accept people from any degree, but this varies by school. When it comes to chemistry, some schools do consider it a good specified degree to do, others do ask for something more biological. You would need to research specific school's requirements - consider ... See Morewhere you would like to study, what degree you are most likely to get the best mark in, and what will give you the broadest range of schools to apply to in the competition for places. See here for an overview of medical school requirements: http://www.medschoolsonline.co.uk/index.php?pageid=11

Apologies for the slow response. I would rely on Southampton's website Natalie, as it will have the latest info. It looks like they may have changed their admissions policy. - Helen

Hi Uchini! I expect they are asking for your 2nd year results so they can get a more secure prediction of your degree result. You may be a little early this year to apply for courses starting in 2011, most institutions request applications a year in advance of the course start date, so around Oct 2010 for you. You can always ask the admissions department they will accept your application for deferred entry if you have a really strong application, but you might find an extra year's medical experience, and dedicated interview and UKCAT/GAMSAT/BMAT practice will be more beneficial.

Application procedures vary by university (and seem to change year on year), so I recommend exploring this website http://www.medschoolsonline.co.uk/ to find out more about the general procedure, then using the links to various unis offering 4-year medical courses to verify the latest requirements of each.

Our next seminar on Graduate Entry into Medicine will be held in February 2010.... See More

Hi Tom, this is not the case for all medical schools. Quickly looking around I can see Swansea and Nottingham will accept predicted degree results - there may be more.
