That’s why we're levelling the playing field to give more talented students access to high quality medical education.Our new Gateway to Medicine course is a six-year course comprising of a Foundation year followed by a run through into the five-year MBChB medical degree. It is designed specifically for students from widening participation backgrounds who are hoping to take their first steps into Medicine.This flagship initiative aims to increase diversity within the medical profession. The Gateway to Medicine course is designed to provide young people who meet widening participation criteria with the opportunity to build confidence, to attain additional study skills and to fill gaps in their academic knowledge. This then allows them to begin the MBChB programme with the skills, knowledge and confidence to successfully become a doctor.
