Subject

Pre-clinical medicine

The University of Liverpool’s School of Medicine is committed to providing our student doctors with
the essential knowledge, skills and values required for a confident and successful medical career.
Whether leading research to shape future clinical care, delivering the very latest in innovative and
supportive teaching, or actively engaging with our communities, we aim to make a difference to our
students, our profession, and to the health of our city and our region
Our A101 graduate entry programme (GEP) is to re-open in August 2024 following a full curriculum review. The curriculum is still subject to change but it should be noted that
• The A101 programme only considers applications from students with home status. No
international applicants can apply to the programme.
• Deferred application to the A101 programme is not considered.
Programme Details
• Minimum academic and non-academic criteria at https://www.liverpool.ac.uk/media/livacuk/schoolofmedicine/admissions/E2024,A101,guidelines,V2.pdf
• The A101 course is an ‘accelerated programme’ lasting 4 -years in total. The first year will
cover what is typically covered in the first two years of the standard 5 -year A100
programme.
• The first year of the A101 programme will be taught predominantly separately from the A100 (5-year) programme. Some sessions may be combined if appropriate.
• Students on the GEP join the clinical rotation pattern of the main A100 programme in their
second year (year 3 of A100).
• To accommodate the accelerated nature of the proposed programme, the GEP programme
is expected to start in mid-August and finish toward the end of July in the following year. All
applicants should note that the academic year is longer than standard and applicants
should note this anticipated start time as no deferral of applications will be allowed.

Health professionals

Medical degrees are some of the most difficult courses to enter, but very nearly all graduates go on to good, well-paid and secure careers in health. If you're taking a shorter pre-clinical course, you'll need to continue on to further medical training to complete an accredited qualification, which explains why a high proportion of those grads are 'in further study' six months later. And at the moment, the UK is short of doctors and we have upped the number of places available, so demand remains high.

What about your long term prospects?

Looking further ahead, below is a rough guide for what graduates went on to earn.
