5. Is the main objective of the course to develop clinical scientists or will students be able to move into other specialties?

Our aim is to attract people to the course who have a passion for science and research, but who want to develop a career in the clinical field. But we do recognise that people change as their careers develop. The Graduate Entry course will train you for all branches of Medicine.

6. What research opportunities are tailored to Graduate Entry course students to supplement their medicine studies?

Imperial College London has a huge number of research-active groups and we will endeavour to link students wishing to undertake research during their MBBS with groups undertaking research appropriate for students’ experience. Clearly, this will depend on the research not impeding the students’ MBBS studies.
