Lead presentations, contribute in group work, engage in public speaking or debate in tutorials, and interview preparation to develop clear and effective communication.

 Take on leadership roles in extracurricular activities and responsibility through your volunteering to gain these foundational skills. Learn leadership within medicine theory with us.

Participate in team-based activities and analyse the importance of working together in healthcare and the many shapes it takes. Discuss these concepts in mentoring sessions, tutorials and interview preparation.

Engage in challenging activities through extracurriculars, volunteering or lived experience to build resilience. We will also discuss aspects of exam and interview stress management and how to reflect on and convey your experiences.

While the Student Portfolio is the heart of our program, we also provide all-encompassing support during the medical school application cycle to ensure your success:

• UCAS Application Support: We assist you and your family in understanding the UCAS application process, key deadlines, information specific to your universities of choice and their preferences along with constant availability for questions and troubleshooting.
