    How Barts can help you towards a career in Medicine

    If you are an aspiring medical student, Barts will support you in each step of your journey towards Medical School. From the moment you start at Barts, you will meet with your supervisor on a weekly basis, to discuss and progress with your UCAS application. Guidance will be provided on your personal statement, as well as your university choices and entry requirements. We have experience in supporting both first-time A level students and those applying to medical schools having re-sat one or more of their GCSEs and/or A levels.

    Our history of success

    We are proud to have an established reputation for giving the fullest assistance with applications to higher education. We have been particularly successful with our students’ applications to read medicine, for example, in which 28 of our last 34 candidates have secured places. The majority of these were re-take candidates who had made unsuccessful applications before joining us. We also have great success in supporting students towards places on veterinary medicine and dentistry courses.

    Qualities of a Medical School applicant

    Applying to study Medicine requires someone who has great tenacity, determination, commitment and self-motivation. In order to be successful in obtaining university offers, and then achieving the high grades needs to secure these offers, you would be expected to complete a vast amount of independent study. This would be in addition to the tuition, supervised study, monthly tests and mocks conducted at Barts.
    Medical School entry requirements

    A typical offer for Medical School is anywhere from AAA – A*A*A* at A level, depending on where you are applying. Typically, you will also be expected to have a minimum of 5 GCSE passes at grades 9-6 (A*-B) or equivalent, including Maths, English Language and two science subjects. Only a small number of Medical Schools accept re-take candidates and where they do so, they usually state that this must be for one re-take in one A level only.

    Please note you will also be required to sit either the UCAT or BMAT Medical School admissions test, with 30 Medical Schools requiring the UCAT and seven the BMAT.

    For more information on UK Medical School entry requirements please click on the link below, which will take you to a detailed guide written by the Medical Schools Council.

    Alternative routes to Medicine

    Should you be unsuccessful in obtaining the grades required for Medical School upon your re-takes, but still have a burning desire to pursue Medicine, all is not lost. Alternative routes include applying to Biomedical Sciences and either transferring to Medicine midway through the course, or upon completion. Please do check with the individual university to see if this is an option, before choosing them as one of your university choices. You might also consider applying to a Medical School overseas.

    Your personal supervisor at Barts is always on hand to help guide you in making these important decisions. We recognise that any university application can be daunting, but that the demands of a Medical, Veterinary or Dentistry School application are particularly high. We will do everything we can to support you to achieve your ambition.

    Testimonials

    I came to Barts because I failed my A-levels at another college and was consequently unable to get to uni on the course I wanted (Biomedicine). After only a year at Barts I was able to turn my A-levels around (pretty astonishing considering it took two years to fail the first time I did them!). As a result of going to Barts, I was able get to Uni. In fact, I actually had a choice of where I wanted to go.

    Tobias Allen

    Being a student at Barts was brilliant. I felt like I was listened to by my teachers and supervisor, and made to feel comfortable and supported throughout my university applications and my studies.

    My teachers knew their subjects inside out and I felt reassured that I could get through the content before my exams.

    Phoebe Jones

    Barts were amazing. My son's tutor was perfect in every way, we couldn’t have asked for a more amazing chap to not only turn 2 C’s into an A star and an A grade, but also the level of care and support was beyond anything we could have hoped for. Barts is like a family that care for you from start to finish. When the experience is all all over, you miss them. I cannot recommend them more highly. A star Barts!

    Jo Miller

    My daughter attended Barts for tuition in one subject in year 13 whilst she was at sixth form college, as ill health was affecting her grades. Everyone at Barts was incredibly kind and supportive, and they were happy to work in a way that suited my daughter. Their sincere interest in their pupils was apparent from the very first meeting. I think it is a unique and exceptional place.

    Alison Cowley

    The one to one tuition allows you to get the most out of each lesson. While the socials and common room ensure that you are far from isolated. Your individual progress is monitored as the year goes on, helping to ensure and enable you to reach your full potential. Bartholomews proved to be everything I needed and more and I would sincerely urge others to consider going here.

    Paige Allen

    Barts have helped our family in so many ways. Mike was hugely supportive - he listened and supported in very different ways.

    I can't thank them enough. From extra GCSE learning support to an extra A level - the teaching was excellent and their approach always well suited.
