Where to Study Medicine
From The Student Room
TSR Wiki > University > Choosing a Subject > Medicine > Where to Study Medicine
Medicine is offered at a large number of Universities. Recently there have been several new medical schools opened up meaning more positions are available. Most people study as undergraduates after studying A Levels (or equivalent), normally including chemistry and biology. However a growing number of places are available for postgraduates to come in a do a medicine course as well as pre-med courses for people who have not studied the traditional science A Levels normally expected for a medicine degree. All medical schools in the UK are overseen by the GMC.
Any entrance requirements listed are currently being updated for the 2008/9 application cycle and it's advised that you confirm this information for yourself before making an application.

Pre-medical Entry Programmes
Pre-medical Entry Programmes (sometimes referred to as 'Medicine with Foundation Year' or 'Medicine conversion courses') comprise of the standard 5 year medical course, with an extra 'Foundation year' at the start of the course (bringing the total length of the course to 6 years, not including any time spent intercalating).
Typical pre-medical entry students are those who have taken non-science A-levels, or qualifications which are not considered for entry to standard 5 year programs. Graduates may also apply to these programs, particularly if their degree has little or no scientific content. Students who have taken Chemistry at A-level are generally not allowed to apply for pre-medical courses, although some universities allow those with a Biology A-level to apply.
The foundation year of the course serves to prepare students for entry into a typical medical degree. Programmes may comprise of Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Maths and other subjects, with topics sometimes being related to medicine. In some medical schools a small degree of clinical experience is gained in the foundation year. Successful completion of the foundation year leads to automatic entry to the medical school's standard 5 year program. These courses should not be confused with Access courses - access courses usually do not lead to direct entry into medical school.
Competition for places on these courses is very severe, sometimes harder than typical 5 year courses.
The following medical schools offer Pre-medical courses :

Graduate Entry Programmes
Graduate Entry Programmes (also known as GEPs, GPEPs or simply GEM) are abridged courses (typically 3.5 - 4 years in duration) for people who have already done an undergraduate degree. Some schools specify your first degree should be in a science or healthcare related subject, while others will entertain applications from graduates of any discipline.
Competition for places is notoriously fierce, so it is worth noting that all medical schools, except SGUL and Nottingham, welcome applications to their standard and foundation courses from graduate students.
GEPs are currently offered by the following medical schools:
