Overview

Our Pre-Medical Studies course is designed for students whose A level mix does not allow direct entry to Medicine, or whose circumstances affected their A level performance. It provides opportunities for students from a disadvantaged background or low achieving school or college as well as individuals who display a long term commitment to a career in medicine. The course is designed to prepare you for successful entry to medical school and your subsequent career. Successful students on the course gain a Certificate in Higher Education. There is the opportunity for selected students from this course to enter the first year of a medical degree at the Kharkiv, Kiev or Ivano-Franks.  Subsequent admission to the medical degree is dependent on academic performance on this course and a successful Medical School admissions interview.
