Training to be a Doctor - Graduate Entry Medicine

Assuming you have UK nationality or residency, with one of these degrees you would in due course be eligible to apply for the Graduate Entry Medicine Programme (GEM) at Swansea University. This application process should be started in the second year of your BSc undergraduate degree, and you would need to fulfil the GEM criteria to gain an interview and offer. This is a separate competitive process which is quite independent from gaining admission to the BSc courses. Many of our students who decided to follow this career path have successfully gone on to study Graduate Entry Medicine.
