MBChB WP Summer School
Saturday 13th July - Sunday 14 July 2024
9.30am - 4:00pm
Looking forward to welcoming many of you to Warwick Medical School!
Are you interested in studying Medicine and becoming a Doctor? Do you come from an under-represented background? Are you interested but unsure if Medicine is right for you? Join WMS for our WP Summer School!
During this two-day virtual/onsite event you'll have the chance to hear from current Warwick Medical School students and ask them questions about the application process and how they've found the course so far. There'll also be opportunities to talk to members of the teaching team, attend sample lectures and take part in workshops where you'll learn how to succeed at interviews, ace the admissions test and write a fantastic personal statement!
