We’re committed to identifying the best possible applicants to study Medicine, regardless of personal circumstances or background.
Our six-year Medicine with a Gateway Year programme is a widening articipation initiative designed to facilitate access to Medicine for those from under-represented backgrounds. Applicants must meet our widening participation criteria to be eligible to apply for this programme. Applications are welcomed from students from across the UK although local applicants are given priority in the selection process.
The Gateway Year forms the first academic year, based on the University of Hull campus. This year focuses on bringing your scientific knowledge up to the required standard and enhancing your study skills, while also learning about professionalism and the NHS.
You will also have clinical placements in Hull and the local area, meeting real patients – so you begin to develop the excellent communication skills and confident, empathetic approach to delivering care that are the hallmark of our graduates.
On successful completion of the Gateway Year, you will automatically progress to our five-year Medicine programme. Innovative, distinctive, and specifically designed to meet the challenges of 21st century healthcare, our Medicine programme truly prepares you for life as a doctor.
At the end of your studies, you will graduate thoroughly prepared for clinical practice, with an MB BS degree awarded jointly by the University of Hull and the University of York.
