Potential Medics!!!

MedicineIf your interested in studying medicine at university then you will be required to take the BMAT test.  This test can now be taken in September as well as November.  I would strongly advise that if your interested then you take the test in September because then you will have received your result before you formally apply to university which will no doubt help your application and also not waste your application if you fail the test, you will be able to pick another course.  More details can be found here.

There is also some training that has been organised by St Barts School for prospective Medical Students on Monday 26th June.  This training is being delivered by Medic Mind, a charity specialising in preparing medical students.

The cost of the course is £35 per student.  Each student will receive:

  • Full Day Course taught by a medical student
  • 5 UKCAT books (in total over 300 pages between them)
  • Over 500 UKCAT Questions written by Medic Mind
  • Access to Online Video Tutorials to re-watch the whole course closer to the exam

You can find out more about Medic Mind here: http://www.medicmind.co.uk/

Please speak to Mr J for more information.
