Widening participation

Supporting prospective medical students from under-represented backgrounds

The School of Medicine encourages applications from students of different backgrounds and circumstances through:

• Providing a six-year medicine with a foundation year course designed to widen access for students who want to study medicine but do not meet the normal academic requirements for entry onto the five-year programme
• Offering the four-year graduate entry medicine programme for graduates who have a 2:2 undergraduate degree in any discipline
• Organising a wide range of outreach activities supported by the University and our student-run WAMS group. We engage locally and regionally with students from diverse backgrounds who are interested in pursuing careers in medicine.
