Access Course for Liverpool Med School

Sorry, I looked back at my post and I don't think I made this clear. It's a six year course. You are interviewed at the beginning, and if accepted it's for the whole course. All you have to do is pass every year with the required mark. It's just like a five year course only longer.

Thanks for the reply alex01. Just to clarify, you have to be 21 or over to apply and from the north west?

Details of the course can be found on the following link: Foundation to Health Studies (Medicine): MBChB ~ Undergraduate degrees ~ The University of Liverpool

or on

School of Health Sciences - SCHOOL OF HEALTH SCIENCES - University of Liverpool

Applications are made directly to the university and not via UCAS. The course has guaranteed progression onto the first year of the five year medicine degree at Liverpool provided you pass the year with 70%.

The course is run in collaboration with Carmel College a local FE college.

The contact address at Carmel College is:

email: degree@carmel.ac.uk

I am currently a student on the programme and thought it would be nice if more people knew about this great opportunity.

Regards,

Alex

PS I think you can still apply for 2008/2009 entry.

can som1 who is doing A levels can apply for it,keeping in mind tht i m mature student

Generally I think the course is aimed at mature students who do not have the right A-levels to apply directly to 4/5 year programme. However, if I were you I would simply enquire and find out what they say. I don't see why you couldn't apply if you're in the midst of doing A-Levels, after all you would just be hedging your bets.

Is this course for English Students only? I am a Scottish Student looking into a route to medicine currently studying an access to health and biological sciences at college as well as higher human biology.

The course is open to all UK students as far as I know. As a matter of fact I think there has been a Scottish student in the last few years. I don't know anything about funding issues though. I know from reading this forum there are some issues around fees for Scottish students studying at English unis as opposed to Scottish students at Scottish unis, but these would be the same as at any other uni in England. Better ask a Scot with knowledge about the fees/funding thing.

Hi Alex01 wander if you can answer some further questions about this course. When do they interview for it, how long is the interview, what sort of questions can you expect.

Thank you for your help

Hi DocWho

If you look further back in the thread, I have posted a link for the course. The information on the university website would probably provide answers to most of your questions. The interview questions and style were exactly the same as those for the five year liverpool MBChB course.
