Hi!
I’m starting medical sciences degree in September (just completed foundation year ). I’m starting to think about my future and was wondering if anyone has been a student on this course and what career they are in now ? Or could give me examples of what routes I can go down !

Many thanks !

Hi there

You can apply to postgraduate courses upon completion of the undergraduate course and receiving the Bachelor's degree. As a matter of fact, graduates from this programme will be strong candidates for further postgraduate study at MSc, MPhil and PhD level and you can receive alumni discount if you apply to do the postgraduate course at UCLan after finishing your undergraduate degree at UCLan.

Hope this helps,

Hi there!
It would be up to each university as every university has their own entry requirements for their degrees so you would have to check with them.

How was the foundation year? I’m thinking of doing this degree to get into medicine as I didn’t take the right A levels. How is Burnley too as I’m from London.

Hi there,

I did the foundation year and found it a great bridge between a-levels and my degree! Studying the foundation year on the foundation entry to medical sciences isn't a guaranteed route into medicine but it is possible.

Burnley is a small city situated about an hour from Manchester and 40 minutes from Preston, I'd recommend coming to one of our open days to see the campus for yourself!

If you have any other questions please let me know below!
