Overview
Our Gateway courses are a widening participation initiative for UK students who fulfil specific criteria and wish to apply for a clinical programme.
During the Gateway year, students will benefit from shared interprofessional insight and the unique community of Bristol's medical, dental and veterinary schools, and will be taught by scientists and clinicians.
Opportunities
The Gateway to Medicine programme from University of Bristol will deepen existing knowledge of core basic sciences underpinning clinical subjects and places emphasis on the development of personal and professional skills, attributes and behaviours that enable successful transition to university study. Successful completion of the Gateway year allows automatic progression onto the five-year MB ChB Medicine.
