Tomorrow’s Doctors

Do you want to study Medicine at university? 

Why not sign up to be part of the Tomorrow’s Doctors scheme? 

‘Tomorrow’s Doctors’ is a scheme where we arrange various activities for you, to prepare you for applying for a place on a Medicine course. 

The scheme’s activities include: 

  • Meeting people who work in the field of medicine, and students who are currently studying medicine, to hear about their experiences.  
  • Developing your understanding about the sector and the types of skills that you will need to work in the world of medicine. 
  • Developing your skills to help you to apply successfully. 
  • Preparing you for the interview process.  
  • You will also learn why following part of the Medicine course in Welsh will help you to get a job in the future.  

By being part of the scheme, those that sign up will receive specialist support from the staff of Cardiff, Swansea and Bangor University medical schools.  In addition, by ensuring an attendance of 70% for all sessions, as well as reaching the academia criteria, Cardiff University and Bangor University will guarantee the candidate an interview.
