Prospective GEP students will have an honors (2:1 or higher) degree in any discipline and now wish to go on to complete a medical degree (for further details see Admission & Fees). The course duration is four years, with the first two years being spent in an accelerated programme in dedicated facilities. After this GEP students merge with their colleagues in the 5 year programme for the final two years. There is an emphasis on small group teaching and early clinical exposure (for further details see Teaching and Learning). Class sizes are around 60 with equal numbers of EU/Irish and non-EU (mainly North American) students. Back to top
