Each university has a unique way of delivering the programme. Over the course of two academic years, every Pathways to Medicine student will have a chance to:
Meet professionals
Attend university events
We will hold regular events to help prepare you for applying to, and attending, university. Until we are able to do so, we will be holding our events virtually either after school or during half-terms and holidays. We try to schedule most events in your first year to accommodate your A-level schedule. You will receive a full calendar of events in your first month so you can save the dates. In the past we have offered:
Access Sutton Trust Online
Receive an undergraduate mentor
Attend a summer school
On our week-long summer school, you will attend lectures and see what university life has to offer either virtually or on a campus residential week (depending on guidance and restrictions at the time). Meet medical students and network with professionals. Hone the skills that universities and employers look for and access expert advice on university applications. You can look forward to:
Access our Alumni Network
Once you graduate from a Sutton Trust programme, you will become a member of our alumni community. Sutton Trust Alumni is the online home of the alumni community. Here you can create connections, access support and inspire change. With more than 3,500 alumni already active in the community, you can get advice from alums studying and working in areas you are interested in. You’ll also gain exclusive access to events, career opportunities and ways to stay involved with our work.
