Undergraduate Medicine is highly competitive, with more applicants than places and high entry tariffs meaning that each year, many passionate students may miss out on their dream of studying to become a Doctor. However, there are an increasing number of options to study medicine, providing you with alternative routes to fulfilling your dream of becoming a Doctor.

Pathways to Medicine at Swansea University

Swansea University’s Pathways to Medicine programme has been developed to not only provide you with an alternative route to medicine, but to build your clinical skills, experience and knowledge to best prepare you for your medicine studies and on to clinical practice.

Through our Pathways to Medicine programme, you will study one of our BSc degrees in medical sciences, building skills and experience that are highly transferable to the clinical environment, before joining our 4 year accelerated Graduate Entry Medicine degree.

You will also benefit from bespoke clinical teaching modules, healthcare-related placements and specialist preparation for medicine applications alongside a guaranteed interview for our Graduate Entry Medicine course.
