Overview
The Graduate & Professional Entry Programme enables honours-degree biomedical/life science graduates and healthcare professionals with equivalent academic qualifications to study for a fast-track degree in medicine. The programme design enables you to by-pass the first stage of a conventional medical degree to achieve qualification in four rather than five years (assuming the intercalated BSc year is opted out).
