Non-science background

For students who come from a non-science background, there is support available to help you with certain parts of your studies that you might find more challenging. There is a significant number of students in every cohort who are from a non-science background. You might find it reassuring to hear that students from a non-science background perform equally well compared to their counterparts!

Peer support sessions
There are peer support sessions organised by senior students throughout your first year focusing on needs of students from a non-science background. You will hear about these sessions when the course starts in the beginning of September.

You might also want to take a look at the interview with Zoe Watford-Stergiou, a current MB ChB student, about how it can be to come into medicine from a non-science background.
