Abbey College Cambridge has achieved a remarkable milestone, with its students securing the highest number of offers ever for highly competitive medicine and dentistry degrees, set for entry in September 2024. Ten students have collectively received an impressive 22 offers.
These students have all participated in the college’s exceptional Medicine Preparation Programme, designed to equip them thoroughly for the demanding and competitive application process. The programme includes bespoke lessons integrated into the students’ timetable as well clinical shadowing at local hospitals or surgeries and weekly volunteer work in a healthcare setting. It therefore allows prospective applicants to dedicate several hours per week in addition to their regular curriculum from Year 12 to focus on their preparations for making competitive medical school applications.
The programme provides a comprehensive insight into the rigors of studying medicine at the university level. It is spearheaded by Sephora Day, the college’s dedicated Head of Medicine, and supported by her skilled medicine team. Their guidance and expertise have been instrumental in the students’ outstanding success.
