I'm hoping to start a medicine degree in a few years time when both of my children are at school. I've contacted a few universities and they have told me that, as it's 18 years since I did A- levels and my first degree was not science based, is have to apply for the undergraduate medicine degree and would be best to complete an Access to Medicine course or the "Subjects allied to medicine" course at Birkbeck college as a first step? Once one of these is completed I can take the UKCAT or BMAT and apply from there.
Any advice? What are these access courses like re workload and content? Has anyone down this as a mature student and what was your experience? I'm keen to hear any advice/tips or just general info on how you found the process.
Thanks
