About Medicine And Surgery Mbchb (graduate Entry) in University of Liverpool
The A101 medical programme has been developed specifically for students who are expecting to achieve at least a good 2:1 Honours degree in a Biological, Biomedical or Health Science subject. Other additional subject and grade requirements exist.
The University of Liverpool requires a GAMSAT result as part of the entry requirements for graduates applying to medical programmes. Further details of GAMSAT can be found here: gamsat.acer.edu.au/gamsat-uk. The only exception to this is for dentists applying to the oral-maxillofacial route. The latter route will have an independent selection process.
For full details of subject requirements, the selection process and details of the oral-maxillofacial route please see liverpool.ac.uk/medicine/undergraduate/admissions
Please note: There are no places for overseas students on the Graduate A101 programme.
Career prospects
Our programmes are for individuals who wish to become qualified medical practitioners. A diverse range of careers are open to you as a medical graduate, varying from medical science, perhaps laboratory-based research, through public health and the development of health care strategies to clinical practice in the hospital and community.
Over half of qualified doctors are general practitioners but there are opportunities for higher speciality training posts with in excess of 100 medical specialities available. Salary details can be found at www.nhscareers.nhs.uk/working-in-the-nhs/pay-and-benefits.
Doctors can be found working in areas related to medicine such as ships doctors, international aid, medical journalism, research and medical education and there are other opportunities outside medicine such as law, management and the pharmaceutical industry.
Work experience opportunities
Clinical elective
All students undergo a four-week clinical elective in which they explore a branch of medicine in greater depth. Most choose to undertake their electives outside the UK, to observe how medicine is practised in another country and to experience a different social, cultural and physical environment.
