Course summary
What this course is about
UCAS code: A101
Here's what Bangor University says about its Medicine: Graduate Entry course.
Designed to prepare students for a career as a foundation doctor in the NHS, it is open to high-performing students from the four recognised feeder streams: • BSc (Hons) Medical Pharmacology, School of Medicine, Cardiff University (B210) • BSc (Hons) Biomedical Sciences, School of Biosciences, Cardiff University (BC97) • BMedSci (Hons), Bangor University (B100) • BSc (Hons) Medical Sciences, University of South Wales (B901) We will also consider applications from graduates of degree programmes relevant to medical studies, please see the full entry requirements on our website for information.
We will train you to be an excellent doctor for Wales and beyond by providing high quality teaching, and an inspiring learning experience based around increased clinical contact and award-winning clinical teaching at the University Health Board. You will graduate as a skilled clinician who understands people and the environment in which we live.
The curriculum focuses on community medicine through a range of clinical placements in varied environments including: • A full year at a GP Surgery • Experience in large teaching hospitals • Mountain medicine • Rural environments
With the North Wales Medical School you will experience a rich learning environment with greater emphasis on learning in Primary Care and at the heart of local communities, whether you choose build you career in North Wales or beyond this focus brings unique strengths. Whilst our independent medical school is newly formed in 2024, we have a successful track record of training medical students. Since 2018 we have been successfully delivering the Cardiff University C21 North Wales Medicine programme. Based on this strong foundation, our newly established medical school will build on the success of the C21 North Wales programme in delivering a first-class medical education.
The North Wales Medical School curriculum has been academically validated by the Quality and Validation unit of Bangor University through a process involving external medical educational expertise. All UK medical schools are regularly reviewed by the General Medical Council (GMC), the professional regulator for Medicine responsible for ensuring high standards for medical education. In addition, all new medical schools are subject to rigorous scrutiny by the GMC. The North Wales Medical School is progressing through the GMC approval process to award a Primary Medical Qualification. GMC accreditation is only completed when the first intake of students is due to graduate. To protect students, new medical schools must work with a ‘contingency’ partner, an established medical school able to provide support and willing, if GMC quality standards are not met for any reason, for students to transfer and graduate from the contingency school. The contingency partner school for the North Wales Medical School is Cardiff University School of Medicine.
Please note: All A101 BMBS students will need to undertake a Summer School (3weeks) - this will include clinical skills and an introduction to case based learning., and will take place in August before the start of the academic year.

Bangor University open days
Are you thinking of applying to this university?
Before you do, it's a good idea to go to an open day. You can have a good look around campus, getting a better idea of what it's like to study there. You'll meet current students and staff and get the chance to ask them questions.
Universities will list upcoming open days on their websites. Most will also have virtual open days; these are a great alternative if you really can't get there in person. For tips on preparing for open days, check the advice section here on The Uni Guide.
