Frequently Asked Questions

If you’re an overseas student considering applying for Medicine in the UK, you’ve come to the right place!

Medic Mentor has the UK’s largest year-round mentoring programme and offers support and specialist advice on how to enhance your CV and British university application.

You might be wondering where to begin. Don’t worry! We’re here to help. Every international student journey is unique. Book a free individual consultation with one of our NHS Doctors to discuss your situation in detail and create a bespoke plan for application success.

We have lots of exciting virtual programmes and societies to help you on this journey accessible through our Student Portal.

If your university application deadline is fast approaching or you need more tailored intensive support, we can help with that too. We offer a choice of residential and virtual Summer School courses delivered by our dedicated team of Doctors and Medical Students.

In summer 2022, we hosted over 900 students across different sites in London and Scotland, with over 90% of them receiving at least one offer to study Medicine. This is incredible, as on average only 15% of all Medical applicants are successful at securing an offer from British Universities.

  Testimonials

Radu from Romania

Summer School Student

Now Medic Mentor Scholar and Medical Studentat University College London.

 

“I chose Medic Mentor’s Summer School because I felt like it was the best allencompassing package for me; not only to help manage the pressures of the application process, but also to really immerse myself in the Medic Mentor family to then open new opportunities for me even beyond the application process.

The support that we get is amazing. The networking and community really make a difference.

My first year of Medical School has been the best year of my life so far.”

Koby from UK

Summer School Student

Now Medic Mentor Scholar and Medical Student at University of Cambridge.

“Rather than treating another person applying to Medicine as a competitor, Medic Mentor really does help create a sense of community. You learn from one another which has really helped me.

There’s a community that I can always come back to that will always put a smile on my face. Medic Mentor transformed me from a clueless student into a student who is now at Medical school.”

Medical Awards Programme

The Medical Awards Programme is a curricular-based programme that covers all of the extra-curricular activities you need to do to get into Medicine.

You will receive over 100 hours of mentoring, guidance, and support from Doctors to highlight any gaps in your application and fulfil the ‘essential non-academic criteria’ for Medical School applications.

When you complete your Bronze, Silver, or Gold Award Programme, you will be awarded National Medical Award to put on your Medical School application – a valuable testament to your extra-curricular achievements!

All Summer School Students who receive a Gold Award are considered for Medic Mentor’s Scholarship Programme!
