New course opens door to medical careers

The one-year course has been developed in partnership with the Brighton and Sussex Medical School (BSMS) which also receives its first students in September.

It offers an effective way to gain a qualification that is acceptable for entry into medical school.

The course, the first of its kind in the South East, is highly suited to nursing or healthcare professionals or those working in business and management.

It will link successful students directly on to the five-year medical degree at the BSMS.
Students will attend the Sussex Downs College’s Lewes Campus for the one-year course. Subjects covered will include biology, chemistry, psychology and mathematics with complementary studies in related areas.

These provide a comprehensive science education to underpin any future medical training or career.

On completion of the course successful applicants will progress to BSMS. They will spend their first two years at the BSMS before moving to the new Medical Education Centre at the Royal Sussex County Hospital to undertake clinical placements.
