In this video I ask Shirley Bekker, who studies graduate entry medicine (GEM) at the University of Cambridge, some questions about her course. You might know her from her RU-vid: ‪@ShirleyBekker‬
Shirley started off making RU-vid videos about Cambridge (where she did her undergraduate in Natural Sciences, which is what I study) and now makes videos about women's health.
Interview book she recommended: amzn.to/2Sx1RRX

Due to circumstances in life, i couldn’t go down the medicine route at the age I wanted to (18/19). I studied and graduated with a degree in Accounting (at the time the hours were better for looking after my daughter). I’m now 34 and my daughter is 17. I’ve never stopped wanting to study medicine. That feeling has never left me and I’m scared all my education is too old to apply graduate course. I was born with 2 rare disorders. Congenital diaphragmatic hernia at birth, then at 7 months old, fell into a coma. I was diagnosed at Yorkhill Sick Childrens Hospital with MCAD deficiency(commonly misdiagnosed with Reye’s syndrome). Since a child, I have took an enthusiastic approach to learning what I can aside my adult career.

@lovessweet5003 Год назад

Hi Ilya, she mentioned GCSE science topics in the video. Did she mean A-level, or does the MMI build on academic knowledge obtained at GCSE?

@oliveappiah5770 3 года назад

Hi, you mention that Cambridge don’t require the BMAT for graduate entry right? Also, is it only A Level Chemistry that is required or do you still need A*AA alongside a 2:1?

@Hannah-ft7jf 3 года назад

I have that same question but I think so

@IlyasCambridgeAdvice 3 года назад

Hi there, you can see the exact requirements here: www.undergraduate.study.cam.ac.uk/courses/medicine-graduate-course

@skyisnotblueskyisblue2302 Год назад

hey if I get a 2:2 in my undergraduate but a 1st in my MSc conversion course will they consider the new award I have received considering it is not a typical MSc but quite an intense, tightly packed 1year course ( 8 modules) and a dissertation and you receive a BPS accreditation for it?

@IlyasCambridgeAdvice Год назад

Probably best to ask admissions tutor to see what they think

@peterwang5533 2 года назад

The official website announces that only applicants with home fee status will be considered, what does that mean? So I can’t do the Cambridge graduate entry route as an international student?

@IlyasCambridgeAdvice 2 года назад

Unfortunately it means that only "home fee status" students can get in. Check here if you qualify www.postgraduate.study.cam.ac.uk/finance/fees/what-my-fee-status

@bv3562 3 года назад

Two faves😍 Why revise politics when you can learn about grad med!

@IlyasCambridgeAdvice 3 года назад

Productive procrastination

@sajupv853 2 года назад

Sir, can international students can also do graduate Entry Medicine?Is there any age limit for that?

@IlyasCambridgeAdvice 2 года назад

Yes they can, and there is no formal age limit. You need to check the other entrance requirements though
