hey, just wondering if you got any info about the course.

hello, thanks for the reply.
I was curious about the pathway to medicine through the foundation program for clinical sciences. What other unis accept it for medicine? how big is the foundation cohort? and when are the exams for the foundation program (are they all at the end of the year or are they integrated within the year)?

Hey @Jaiya_11, no problem at all

We have an established partnership with Sheffield Medical School so that Foundation in Clinical Sciences and Medicine leading to BSc Clinical Sciences provides a formal opportunity for widening participation students to apply to enter the MBChB at Sheffield (subject to meeting academic, widening participation, UCAT and passing the Multiple Mini Interview criteria - please see Sheffield Medical School's website for further details). This opportunity is only available to home students.

In addition to our relationship with Sheffield Medical School, our Foundation programme is also recognised by other medical schools. Students have applied successfully to Leeds, Hull, York, Brighton and Sussex, and Norwich medical schools. Please check individual medical school websites for more information relating to their entry requirements.

Formative assessments are embedded throughout the programme in order for you to gain feedback and monitor your own progress.

You can also contact the faculty admin for more information regarding the exams and the size of the cohort on [email protected]

I hope this helps! Thank you

This is sooo helpful. Thank you so much!!

hey i just completed the foundation year if you have any questions plz let me know!!!

did you end up transferring to medicine? what are the modules like and what is the cohort like? how many students are in the course and how many end up being eligible for sheffield? sorry for so many questions

hey, there are 5 modules (chem, bio, anatomy, public health and academic skills). public health and academic skills are coursework based and the other 3 are exams. in semester 1 the topics are a lot shorter and more easier to learn. in semester 2 there is a lot of content to cover, but you have quite a while to prepare for exams. for example, you finish all the chemistry content in march and have around 2 months to revise and do practice exams. i would say to get the grades you need to begin revising early and make sure you do all the practice questions they provide. in our year there were around 60ish students but it really depends yearly. like the year before us had over 100 students. to be eligible for sheffield you need to get the grades, if you get the grades they will invite you for an interview. there are 20 spaces available but this is divided between both sheffield hallam and bradford. you can also apply to leeds and brighton in october. i hope this helps! if you have any other questions plz let me know!!!
