Target Medicine Summer School is a non-residential, five-day scheme for Year 11 students from London-based, non-selective state schools. There are 48 places available and the event takes place at UCL’s Royal Free (Hampstead) and Bloomsbury campuses. Students are mentored by two medical students and get the opportunity to meet patients, nurses and doctors, engage in simulated emergency clinical situations and visit one of the local hospitals.

The Summer School helps students find out what life is like as a medical student and as a doctor. It aims to be inspirational and to give students the confidence to pursue medicine as a career. It also puts students in touch with like-minded peers.

To apply you must:

• be a year 11 student thinking of studying medicine
• have predicted GCSE grade B and above in Maths and English Language
• attend a non-selective state school with a London postcode (N, NW, SW, SE, E, EC, W, WC)
• or a non-selective state school in the boroughs of Brent, Barnet, Enfield or Waltham Forest
• or a non-selective state school in the county of Hertfordshire
• be able to attend every day of the Summer School

If you do not meet ALL of this criteria please DO NOT apply. Unfortunately we are not able to accept applications from non-London, private school or international students.
