Gateway to Medicine (G2M)

A new route to a rewarding career in medicine. Our Gateway2Medicine (G2M) programme offers young people from a widening access background in Scotland the opportunity to study medicine. This programme has been designed to transform the aspirations and ambitions of secondary school pupils from a widening access background in Scotland, and who may have considered that application to medical school is too ambitious, unrealistic and out of their reach.<br/><br/>Our unique partnership with North East Scotland College (NESCOL) provides an accessible and supportive route into medicine, enabling applicants to reach their full potential and achieve their dream of becoming a doctor. Students who successfully complete the one year G2M programme and meet UCAT and interview requirements will be granted a place on the University of Aberdeen MBChB degree programme.<br/><br/>Our G2M programme comprises elements of the University of Aberdeen’s longstanding Certificate in Pre-Medical Studies and the HNC/HND in Applied Sciences provided by NESCOL. Courses in Semester 1 (August to December) will be delivered by NESCOL at its Aberdeen City Campus. Semester 2 (January to May) will be based at the University of Aberdeen. The programme also includes a work experience. NHS Grampian has guaranteed every G2M student Healthcare Support Worker-level paid employment.
