Medicine with a foundation year is such an unrecognised course! I hope this video gave you enough detail about it and if you have any questions, please just comment or send me a message :)
I never realised this was a thing until now 🤣🤦🏼♂️ I'm in year 11 atm and I'm preficted 6s/7s and was worrying that I wasnt going to get into med school however with this my dream still seems alive
thank you so much for this video. im holding onto the idea of a foundation year just in case my grades are not the best right now in year 12. this was so informative and making me feel more motivated😭. but of course i will try and get the highest grades i can but will always keep my option open with things like a foundation year.
Hi, I’ve received an unconditional offer from university of Birmingham physio/medicine foundation year. It’s one of my dream schools but I haven’t made my decision yet because I was really afraid of the imposter syndrome. Your video has really inspired confidence in me to take the leap. Thank you so much!
i’m new to this so i don’t know too much but you can get an unconditional for foundation medicine?! i’m thinking for next year and i thought it would be a conditional and that would be the interview. anyways, we’ll done!!!
Thank you for this video , it was so funny!! I can honestly relate to the feeling of imposter syndrome even though I’ve worked so hard for my application.
your video was so very helpful thank you! I'm an ib student applying to med school this year and this was so very useful also OUT OF TOPIC BUT UR LASHES ARE AMAZING OMG
Thank you for this! Really appreciated! Could you make a list of all different universities different entry requirements so we know which universities are open to English as a subject etc easily in one document
I’m so anxious about if I don’t get into medicine or even foundation medicine, do you think It was a struggle getting accepted? If I meet the academic criteria, the other criteria’s and have months of work experience should I be worried or is it still REALLY competitive? X
Sorry for the delayed reply! I can honestly say this course in general is very competitive but just hope for the best and be true to yourself! You’ve got this :)
What an exceptional video keep up the amazing work! I had one question: I have just started my GCSEs (year 10) and I picked triple science bc that’s what I love 💕 however I only just realised that this February I’m take a BTEC science exam but all my BTEC coursework that was completed in year 9 is bad will this affect anything or is my gcse triple science enough
I’m doing bio a level but was unable to do chemistry due to my gcses being too low (doing environmental science instead) but I really want to go into medicine. I’m not sure whether to do a biomed/biological science degree then a postgrad medicine degree or a foundation year of medicine. I think the former option is more attainable to me but it would take longer.
such a good video!! I want to do medicine and am predicted A* A* D however I did a BTEC (applied human biology) and medicine degrees don't accept BTECs :( any advice?
Due to COVID-19 I’m struggling to find work Experience. Do you recommend any online work experience for medicine (I’ve only just turned 15 is it to early) Thank you your the best utuber ever
Hey,I came through your video and found it really helpful but had a few questions in mind.What if you haven’t done GCSEs or Alevels in the Uk,so is it worth a shot to apply for medicine?Basically,I’m not a Uk permanent resident,I do hold a citizenship,but I had to move to my native country a few years back due to some personal reasons,so I’ve got my undergraduate degree from here,I was a little concerned about how things are gonna be for me as I’ve been a little unaware.Would mean alot if you can help me out somehow.
Hi There, so sorry for the late reply and i hope that everything is working out well for you. Every medical school has different requirements for their foundation years. My bets advice would be to contact the ones you are interested in and explain your situation for some clarity :)
Heyyy Your video is great! Just a bit confused, do all universities require you to do UCAT for gate-way and do they have requirement they put out? Thank you xx
I just came across this video and actually it is very interesting video. I am in year 12 and don't knoe what to choose from child nursing biomedical science and medicine. I am doing psychology , biology and health and social care and i was thinking of foundation year for medicine but i don't knoe which path to choose from those three😭
I’d say do medicine because it is a guaranteed job for life with this degree and there is such variability in what speciality you can pursue in the future :)
@@medicallyamber no offense to people who love plants but there is something about it that makes it less interesting than learning about the human body
At gcse I got A*A*AAAABBB I’m predicted ABB And I’m eligible for foundation course which I have applied to this year My Ucat score was 2240 so pretty low would this low ucat drastically decrease my chances of getting a place ?
I’m guessing they do as in you have to pass maths science and English and have a specific amount of GCSE passes but alevels are more important I’d say ! Just try to pass your gcses first
hi i’m doing the same course! i just wanted to ask how much contact time there is & roughly how many lectures & things u need to attend cause i wanted to balance a job alongside it??
Hi There! Hope all is going well with the course :) When i did it, it was COVID so only had monday as contact time and the rest of the week was online. I am unsure how it works now but it will be the least intense year of your degree 100%.
just wondering I've applied for the same course in Nottingham with similar UCAT and GCSEs as yourself but I've applied through UCAS. How will I let them know about being in a deprived area and a state school? or do they know themselves. And if I haven't taken the Nottingham potential do I still stand a chance of getting in?
Actually i am 17 year old and when i came uk i was 14 i didn't get admission 2 year i am just at hoem last year i call in every school again so they know she is 16 she shuld be in collage so i just take health and social care. Know after one year of social care i am doing work experience volunteering at hospital she tell me that you can do gcse privately. Your video really motivate me to take gcse. Please tell me which gcse subject needed for medical i mean must gcse for medical.
Oh my God finally I found some useful information thanks a lot🥺💘. But I have some questions : 1. I'm from Egypt and now I am in grade 12 when should I apply for the medical universities in the UK to start on 2022?and if I apply for a university does it means that I apply for a foundation year also? If not how can I apply for the foundation year?? And in this year what is the subjects that I take it, or only I improve my English language on it? 2. how can I come from Egypt to UK? Is there a visa which I can come by it? 3. I take 5.5 in IELTS it's ok to join at the medical school?and is there any other exams which I need to take it? Sorry for that but really I need your help, I have a lot of questions coz no one here can help me if you didn't mind can I write my number for you here to contact with you, really I need help but I don't know how can I start or what should I do..
Hi i dont know much but if your starting uni in 2022 you have to apply through UCAS a uk university application program and probably start your application in autumn/winter of 2021 and if your from egypt then your an international student and would have to apply for a student visa with UKVI (uk visas) a medicine year with foundation year is course so I’m sure other universities will offer this course. - hope this helps
@@kaylondon8458 ohh thanks, that's useful 💕💕🥺. Okay please another question when I apply for a foundation year that's mean I'm gonna to study English on it or I will study subjects that are related to the medical university??
What did you guys do for A levels cuz I’m probably getting a maths grade that’s not sufficient for me to do science a levels so will probs hav to do med w/ foundation year and will be doing BTEC Biomedical Science extended diploma Is this still good?
what if you failed most of your gsces but have combines scince with a 6,5 and english at 4,4 and maths at 5,5 but you have alavel biology and chemitry at a star both also i did an engineering level 3 thats equivelent to 3 alevls with 3 distinction stars do you think i can still apply to medicine or no ive also done work experince in forign country and here in london please help
Hi, I would like to ask a question. So regarding the enrty requirements at the foundation course, can they accept you if perhaps you acquired a BTEC in health and social care in college/sixth form, or do they want you to have gained previously an A level to acces this HE?
when you go onto doing 5 year standard program are you going to be with same people with whom you started foundation program or you are going to meet new people ?
btw we did the same a levels !! people get so annoyed when they find out I chose literature (although it’s completely different from high school) but stillll!
I don't believe so! Most foundation medicine courses don't even require BMAT, only UCAT! But, from what I know, doing the BMAT will have no effect on requirements :)
Hi this video was very insightful, Im currently in year 12 and have a few questions as Im interested in this course. Do you have to complete the foundation year successfully (like pass the exams) to be moved on to the 5 year course? Would you say it's easy/medium difficulty to complete it or is it quite hard? If you fail the foundation year exam do you get any resits? Do you have to apply via UCAS afterwards and redo the UCAT to progress to the 5 year course or do they automatically move you up? And finally do you think Im eligible to apply if Im ABB predicted or is that too high ( I meet most of the other requirements) Thanks for your time ☺️
So sorry for the delay! Yes you go straight into it upon completion. The course itself is medium difficulty (think a level biology & chemistry with a bit more jazz)
If you fail you can do resists! And for your grades I think you can get it if you satisfy the other entry requirements but for your grades I believe you can go straight in to the 5 year course :) best of luck!
Hii, I’m so confused for a level because for my 3rd option I want to do level 3 criminology along with chem n bio do u think universities will accept criminology as a third choice? bc i rlly don’t want to do maths
Hey, if i become a private candidate for chemistry, biology and psychology A level; do you think I will be able to then after my 2 years of private learning these a levels I could get into medicine with a foundation year?
i did terrible at gcse 777666655 (and failed comp sci) i want to do a foundation year hopefully at notts will i have any chance 77 in sciences 6s in english 5 in maths :( - i have resat waiting for result
Back on here to tell everyone I was 8 marks overall of a 6 which was so so annoying however I can’t explain the improvement I’ve made and how much I tried so I’m not mad, I’m still determined to do medicine 🤍I resat English language too and got a 9 so I’m happy with that one
I’m doing triple btec forensic and criminal investigation so I want to apply for foundation year at Manchester but it has science in it but like jus applied science so do u think I can still go onto do it? (I’m also doing a level chemistry)
Hi I would like to do medicine with a foundation year but didn't get the grades I needed at GCSE to choose bio and chem!! I needed a 6-6 I got a 6-5. Can I do medicine with a foundation of I choose BTEC applied science, criminology or health and social and psychology.
Thanks for so much information...💯 I came from Pakistan and here I'm doing BTEC level 2 with English and Maths GCSE. Shall I progress onto A-levels or BTEC level 3. My college can offer me A-levels. I think A-levels are best because I want to get into medicine and good unis don't accept btec level 3 science. The other thing is that I don't have any GCSEs except my maths and English.... will this effect my uni admission? Alevels allows me to go to many carers but btec limits me
Hi lovely, I feel very disheartened and feel like I can’t do it. I don’t have A Levels. I would like to do an access course. Does anybody know if I can go to uni with level 2 functional skills in maths and English. And also what would I need to study in uni to become a doctor?
Im not sure on how to access medicine without A-Levels personally but my best advice would be to get in contact with univeristies and ask! Dont give up just yet :)
Hey, i applied for the same course, medicine with foundation year at the university of nottingham this year, i got the interview, but unfortunately didnt got in. What do you think is the best thing for me to do now? I am currently in year 13 so what do you think is the best thing for me to do after A levels?
I'm not entirely sure! However, I would actually recommend you do Biology and Chemistry at A-Level, as majority of foundation courses ask for these subjects and it ensures you 100% have a chance of getting in! Hope that helps :)
If you do the foundation year at Bradford for medicine, and get 70% overall and pass the other requirements, they only ask for at least a C in GCSEs and they don’t consider what you did at year 12 and 13 for Sheffield university.
@@lizziadele7050 Bradford Uni have a direct link with Sheffield med school so those on the clinical sciences foundation year can apply through Ucas extra in June after they get their results. And if they meet the widening participation requirements.
If I don’t have any learning background on chemistry, I have just studied economics, biology, mathematics in high school. Can I apply chemistry subject for the foundation course?
Do only few student who take a foundation entry course for medicine get to transition into the 5 year medical course? ( is foundation year competitive)
@@medicallyamber if the case was your school not allowing anyone to do triple don’t certain universities have exceptions for their grade boundaries for people from certain schools. Especially since you would have been disadvantaged compared to other candidates in terms of ability to meet criteria
Hopefully you see this, I have 3 A* in Bio, Chemistry and Psych but my GCSEs are only 2 8s (A*) and the rest 6 (high B) including maths and 5 (low B) English. I took a gap year, do you think I have a chance?
In my GCSEs I got 7 A*s, 2 As and 3 Bs. But I only got a 7 in maths and a B in English. For my a levels I'm predicted AAAA ATM in bio, chem, maths and German. Do I even have a chance of getting into medicine?
Medicine with a foundation year is such an unrecognised course!
I hope this video gave you enough detail about it and if you have any questions, please just comment or send me a message :)
Hey I got a 5 in English language and a 6 in English literature. Do you think this affect my chances of getting into medicine with a foundation year?
It may as most ask for a 6 in English language! However, it’s best to double check each university :)
I realize I'm kinda off topic but does anyone know a good website to stream newly released tv shows online?
@Will Allan Flixportal xD
@Harry Adriel Thank you, I went there and it seems to work :) I appreciate it !!
This is so unrelated but you look like Jordyn Woods 😁

I’m doing triple btec forensic and criminal investigation so I want to apply for foundation year at Manchester but it has science in it but like jus applied science so do u think I can still go onto do it? (I’m also doing a level chemistry)
You would have to ring up and ask!
Hi I would like to do medicine with a foundation year but didn't get the grades I needed at GCSE to choose bio and chem!! I needed a 6-6 I got a 6-5.
Can I do medicine with a foundation of I choose BTEC applied science, criminology or health and social and psychology.
Best to get in contact with the univeristy of your choice to find out!
How many people would usually get in?? I’m lowkey scared Bcos my gcses are low and me hearing it’s more competitive scares me
Well my course has around 30 people on it I think! But so many apply so it is competitive!
I’m not doing a level chemistry- would a foundation year be what I need to do?
It depends on the requirements that the univeristy has the foundation year. Each one is different!
Hello I was wondering if I could get in a foundation course with AAB predicted
Those are quite high grades (congrats!) so i am unsure and it would depend on the univeristy. I reccomend that you speak with them directly :)
Can I Apply for it After completing my intermediate plus 2 (12 standard) Please Answer
I’m not sure sorry! :(
Can I study the foundation year in a uni then transfer to another uni for the 5 year course?
I dont believe you can sorry!
Do you have to fit in the contextual offer criteria
Yes you do!
Thanks for so much information...💯
I came from Pakistan and here I'm doing BTEC level 2 with English and Maths GCSE. Shall I progress onto A-levels or BTEC level 3. My college can offer me A-levels. I think A-levels are best because I want to get into medicine and good unis don't accept btec level 3 science.
The other thing is that I don't have any GCSEs except my maths and English.... will this effect my uni admission?
Alevels allows me to go to many carers but btec limits me
Hi there! I’d say try and get into a levels I’d you can as they are most widely accepted for unis :)
@@medicallyamber thanks for your advice but my college won't allow it now going for Btec level 3 sciences
Hi lovely, I feel very disheartened and feel like I can’t do it. I don’t have A Levels. I would like to do an access course. Does anybody know if I can go to uni with level 2 functional skills in maths and English. And also what would I need to study in uni to become a doctor?
Im not sure on how to access medicine without A-Levels personally but my best advice would be to get in contact with univeristies and ask! Dont give up just yet :)
If I don't fit into the extentuating circumstances criteria does that mean I cannot apply for a foundation year?
Yes!
(Not foundation year)For ur first year degree is the uni gonna give u accommodation?
I don't believe so! I'm going private for my official first year with my flat mates :)
Hiii, so I'm doing btec level 3 applied science, after the 2 years, if I do a foundation course, can I go into medicine??
Succesful completion of the foundation course would lead to 5 year medicine yes :)
Hey, i applied for the same course, medicine with foundation year at the university of nottingham this year, i got the interview, but unfortunately didnt got in. What do you think is the best thing for me to do now? I am currently in year 13 so what do you think is the best thing for me to do after A levels?
Hey if you don't mind me asking what did you end up doing x
Hey I changed my plan, I am currently doing Pharmacology xx
@@kaur1111 Ah right thanks for the reply wish you all the best
@@1256soph No worriesss, thank you so much, I wish you all the best aswell x
I got ABB for Alevels, I can apply to foundation year right?
It depends on the univeristy as i believe those are classed as 'high grades'?
Where else did you apply? And did you do the summer school for notts?
I applied for Southampton, Leicester & Dundee! No, I did not go to summer school :)
Hi, would i be able apply for this if i did BTEC science im sixth form?
I'm not entirely sure! However, I would actually recommend you do Biology and Chemistry at A-Level, as majority of foundation courses ask for these subjects and it ensures you 100% have a chance of getting in!
Hope that helps :)
If you do the foundation year at Bradford for medicine, and get 70% overall and pass the other requirements, they only ask for at least a C in GCSEs and they don’t consider what you did at year 12 and 13 for Sheffield university.
@@mariambibi33 please tell me more about this if you can!!!!
@@lizziadele7050 Bradford Uni have a direct link with Sheffield med school so those on the clinical sciences foundation year can apply through Ucas extra in June after they get their results. And if they meet the widening participation requirements.
@@mariambibi33 Thank you so much!!!!
If I don’t have any learning background on chemistry, I have just studied economics, biology, mathematics in high school. Can I apply chemistry subject for the foundation course?
Depends on the university! It would be best to email or call them :)
IS THE FOUNDATION YEAR SAME AS ALEVELS CHEM AND BIO
WAIT SO NOT ALL HOPE IS LOST?????
Absolutely Not!!!
I’m doing maths bio and geo do l need foundation year
If so assistance on how l should go about it
most likely, due to no chemistry! but each medical school varies.
Do only few student who take a foundation entry course for medicine get to transition into the 5 year medical course?
( is foundation year competitive)
Nope, actually I think for all foundation year courses your guaranteed to go into the 5 year medical course if you pass it!
It’s just competitive to get into the foundation year itself due to small number of places available.
love the intro !!! hahah
Hey Amber, do you have an insta page?
Erica B Yes! It’s Aharvsx :)
hi, do you think i can get into a medical degree via a foundation course with alevel grades, CDD
Check the univerisy requirements and that should clarify :)
Does evreyone in the foundation course end up successfully progressing onto the 5 year course? What happens if u fail, can u resist.
On my course nobody has ever failed! It’s kinda impossible to because it’s easy enough :)
Is it possible doing medicine with foundation course,?? Without A level??
You would have to speak to the univeristy directly about that.
What was you predicted grades when you applied ?
They were BBC I believe or BBB (my memory is quite terrible sorry ahaha)
Thankyou !@@medicallyamber
Do foundation year courses have lower ucat requirement
I believe they do majority of the time!
Can you do foundation with 6 C in IGCSE?
I believe so!
HOW AM I GONNA GET AAA
Can I get into medicine with btec applied science
Best to call up your university and see if they will take that :)
Could I do a foundation year in medicine with only a 5 in English language?
You would have to check the requirements on the official uni website!
Hi I think of applying to that too but my grades are lower than yours🥺 is your grades considered low???? For gcse
Don’t worry her gcse scores are great just she didn’t do the best in maths and didn’t get triple science so it wouldn’t have been considered good
Yeah my maths was poor and my school didn’t allow anyone to do triple unfortunately
:( Hopefully everything works out fine!
@@medicallyamber if the case was your school not allowing anyone to do triple don’t certain universities have exceptions for their grade boundaries for people from certain schools. Especially since you would have been disadvantaged compared to other candidates in terms of ability to meet criteria
Hey is this the same for dentistru
I am not too sure on dentistry, apologies!
Could I still get in with a low UCAT score? 😭
Well mine was terrible and I'm here in 1st Year Medicine now!
Hello, which college is good to start foundation in anatomy?
Sorry I’m not sure about that one :(
Hopefully you see this, I have 3 A* in Bio, Chemistry and Psych but my GCSEs are only 2 8s (A*) and the rest 6 (high B) including maths and 5 (low B) English. I took a gap year, do you think I have a chance?
You will be absolutely fine! :)
Wait so you do 6 years and then 5 years ?❤️
So 11 yearssss?
@@xximanalixx9945 No it's basically a foundation year and then progression into the the normal 5 year course :)
Exactly that!
Wait are there any age requirements or can anyone take a foundation year?
That I’m not too sure about! So sorry :(
Can you do a foundation year with only GCSEs
You have to do a-levels I believe!
In my GCSEs I got 7 A*s, 2 As and 3 Bs. But I only got a 7 in maths and a B in English. For my a levels I'm predicted AAAA ATM in bio, chem, maths and German. Do I even have a chance of getting into medicine?
You have a super good chance! Your GCSE grades are amazing and your predicted grades are too! Go for it :)
Shut up
