Would you like to become a doctor but are not sure whether you have studied the correct subjects or have high enough grades? Gateway to Medicine can help you make the best possible start to studying medicine if you do not meet the entry criteria for our MBChB Medicine course.

Gateway is a one-year course specifically designed to support you towards progressing on to the five-year Dundee MBChB course.

Maybe you haven't studied sciences (chemistry) to a high enough level (Higher or A-level) or perhaps your school grades have suffered due to hardship (adversity) in your personal or home or school life.The course will empower you for success and build your confidence through personal and professional development.

Our experienced staff will support you from day one and work closely with you to help you achieve your potential. You'll also benefit from our small and friendly learning community that will make you feel at home and supports your learning.

You'll also gain an additional qualification when you pass the Gateway year: A Certificate of Higher Education in Life Sciences (CertHE).
