Preparation for Medicine Programme

The National Mathematics and Science College

NatMatSci’s Preparation for Medicine Programme is takes our A-level programme and creates a wrap-around programme of resources and activities that specifically to support students looking to apply for medicine and medical related fields such as biomedical science, dentistry and pharmacology. All students on the Preparation for Medicine Programme study alongside the students on the A-level programme, completing A-levels in Chemistry and Mathematics, alongside up to two other subjects, usually including Biology. Should students’ aspirations change during the programme, it is simple for them to move out of the Preparation for Medicine Programme and continue their A-level studies. The teaching methodology at The National Mathematics and Science College inspires and supports high ability students to excel academically and this is evidenced by our track record in STEM subjects. Key to this success are our subject specialist teachers of distinction who, through working in small class sizes, ensure students receive the individual attention they need to fully understand the subject material as well as successfully achieve and exceed the A-level examination grades required by medical schools. Additionally, 1:1 additional support is available throughout the week, every week. All practical teaching is carried out in our high specification laboratories with a strong focus on practical work. This enables students to develop their practical skills to a high level, which is a skill set highly prized by medical schools and universities alike.
