Hey guys,
I've been trying to find answers to some of my questions but I thought it would be easier if I just explain my situation and hope that someone would be able to help me
So...I'm 20 and only have GCSEs, which are not particularly great - Cs and Bs. Last 3 years of education, haven't been successful; I went back to retake my GCSEs. Then, the 2016/2017 academic year; I started doing a BTEC Science course, which I wasn't really happy with and ended up dropping out. Afterwords, I decided to take a year brake of education and I am currently working as a Dispenser in a Pharmacy.
I'm planning on applying for an Access to HE course, then university ether for a Biomedical Science course, followed by postgraduate in Medicine, or Pharmacy (which, is my option B), then if I still want to peruse Medicine - apply for that.
However, I spoke with the Pharmacist today and he emphasized how competitive it is to get into postgraduate MBBS as majority of Biomed graduates try to apply for medicine and there's only limited places, which I obviously was aware of but hadn't really thought about it. He then suggested that, I should look into applying somewhere in the EU, where it would be cheaper and might even save my the 3 years of Biomedical.
Anyways, my question, or rather query is; if anyone could give me any advice or/and share how they have gotten into the Medical filed via unusual routes - usual, meaning with A-levels.
Thanks.
