Academic Medicine

Course overview:

Our Academic Medicine pathway is for those with the ambition to become medical doctors or similar roles within the health service.  It will suit students who have excelled in their GCSE subjects and will have top grades across 8 different subjects, including Maths, English and Science.  You will study 4 A-levels in Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Maths, a portfolio of subjects that will allow you to make a strong application to med-school.  

This course will be further enhanced by a range of hands-on experiences facilitated by our NHS sponsors, Guy’s and St Thomas’ and Kings College NHS trusts.  This will include the opportunity to undertake 2 weeks of work experience within a clinical environment.  Students will benefit from our world class facilities that include a health simulation suite, that allows us to bring the teaching alive and transcend the academic and practical learning styles.  This course will allow you to confidently take the next step on your journey to becoming a NHS hero.
