Some of these give you guaranteed offers* as well, so definitely apply!!!

(Some haven't opened yet, like Target Bath, so do keep an eye out)
And some are only open to those who meet specific widening participation criteria - check carefully before you apply.

Do these outreach programmes apply to all courses or just specific ones because I am looking for medicine outreach programmes

It would depend on the programme. Some tend to all courses (but may have different events for different subject [groups]. Others would just be general and some will only cater for a specific subject. You'd have to do your research to see.

yes they do for med if im aware. I recently got accepted and they say they may lower requirements to AAA for med with a guaranteed interview if you meet the UCAT score and SJ but this is just for med.
