I already have an offer to study a BSc. In Biomedical Science (or other related subject), so why should I do this course?
Universities often make offers for Life Sciences courses to students who are unsuccessful in their applications to study medicine or dentistry with them. Although this may lead to medical school entry three years later, they usually make no guarantee of this. In reality, the percentage of students who actually secure a place at medical or dental school is very low and this may be a way to attract students onto three-year BSc. courses which are struggling to attract students. The M&D Pre-Med is a one-year programme and will lead onto medical school, preferably in the UK, if students pass the programme. It may also be possible for students to progress onto the second year of Life Sciences courses to complete a BSc. and apply for graduate entry to medicine or dentistry. This way, by completing the M&D Pre-Med, students are not losing three years of study on a course they never really wanted to do in the first place; they are also not wasting a year if the M&D Pre-Med does not lead to the
