The University of Sunderland is running an on-campus residential Medicine Summer School for Year 12 students from Wednesday 5 July 2023 – Friday 7 July 2023.
The summer school offers the opportunity for students to experience university life as a medical student and gain the skills and confidence they need to apply for our Medicine MBChB (Hons) course.
For students that meet two or more of our widening participation criteria, attending and completing the Medicine Summer School will guarantee you a Multiple Mini Interview (MMI), subject to meeting the GCSE, A Level and UCAT requirements.
Even if you don’t meet these criteria you will still benefit by learning more about the role of a doctor and the different career routes you can take after your degree. You'll also get to experience parts of our admissions process, which will prepare you for the future.

You will study alongside pharmacists, nurses, paramedics, biomedical, sport and physiological scientists offering opportunities for inter-disciplinary working.
Our programme is modern and forward thinking, using Problem Based Learning in a spiral curriculum that builds complexity year-on-year. Our culture is supportive and inclusive with a large network of academic and clinical tutors and mentors. If you have the skills, passion and ambition and want to be part of a welcoming community, Sunderland is the place to be.
