Careers with Medicine
Graduates are eligible to provisionally register with the General Medical Council and apply for the UK Foundation Programme, a two-year work-based training period. This serves as a bridge between medical school and specialist or general practice training. Career paths for graduates include roles in General Practice, Public Health, Psychiatry, Anaesthesia, and Surgery. Beyond clinical practice within the NHS, opportunities exist in research, the pharmaceutical industry, medical law, and healthcare media. The programme ensures students meet the necessary outcomes to pursue diverse specialities in both hospital and primary care environments.
