Students begin their training with ‘pre-clinical’ work, involving study of the basic medical sciences. This is followed by the ‘clinical’ course during which you will work in hospital wards under the supervision of consultants.
The main emphasis of problem-based learning (PBL) is on small group working, centred around a ‘problem’ or scenario. These scenarios are hypothetical patient cases.
This integrated approach, centred on PBL, and grounded in a robust scientific understanding, strong clinical knowledge and highly developed communication and clinical reasoning skills, allows you to develop life-long skills that will be crucial to your success as a doctor.
Case-Based Learning (CBL) is a tutorial-based, group learning approach where students work through real-world clinical scenarios across subjects such as cardiology, respiratory, and gastroenterology.
During each session, you’ll identify key learning outcomes and use them to guide your study, following a patient case from initial presentation through to diagnosis and management.
The goal of CBL is to help students apply theoretical knowledge to practical situations. This better prepares you for reviewing real cases during clinical placements.
Predicted grades are used as part of the selection for interview.
A Levels must be completed within one sitting across a maximum of two years. We accept resits of GCSEs.
Clinical experience is not required. The requirements are relaxed, but we still require our applicants to have an understanding of the realities of working as a healthcare professional and to show they have the necessary skills and attributes for their chosen career. They can use online resources for valuable insight into working in the healthcare sector and outline the wide range of careers and courses available.

City St George’s is committed to providing the opportunity of higher education to all students who can benefit from it, regardless of circumstance and background.
We run a wide range of outreach activities for students from Years 5–12. These activities vary in their aims, scope and reach, but are targeted predominantly at students from under-represented groups who meet our widening participation priority criteria, such as those with little or no family history of higher education, those receiving free school meals or Pupil Premium, those who are from areas or schools with low progression rates to HE, and students who are in local authority care.

We know that not everyone starts life with the same opportunities and so we use additional information, including school performance data and socio-economic markers, to review the context within which applicants achieved their qualifications.

Read more about contextual offer criteria.
All applicants who meet eligibility criteria for groups 1 and 2 are eligible to be considered for a contextual offer. Under our contextual offer scheme, you could be made an offer two grades lower than our standard conditional offer (even if your predicted grades are higher).
The two-grade reduction for contextual offers applies to A Level, International Baccalaureate (IB) and Scottish Higher grades only and is applied across two subjects, rather than the requirement for one subject being reduced by two grades. The reduction will apply to the highest-grade requirements.
