Medicine
Cambridge College | Ages 15 - 17
Learn in a city with medicine in its DNA.
At Cambridge College, our students will gain practical skills and medical knowledge in our Medicine programme as students start their amazing journey to becoming a doctor or working in the healthcare profession. Additionally, students will participate in comprehensive First Aid training during the course and receive helpful advice on pursuing medicine at university.
Beyond medical theory and practise, we examine the role of medicine in a broader context to help students develop their critical thinking abilities and an understanding of crucial public health issues, as well as to provide them with all the assistance they need to submit an effective application to a reputable medical school.
With its history, culture and record number of Nobel Prize winners, few places can capture your imagination as much as Cambridge, making it a perfect place to study Medicine for the summer.
During the Medicine Industry Experience programme, students will complete a first aid course to develop their basic life-saving skills in an interactive and hands-on way. They will also attend workshops run by medical professionals including doctors, paramedics, and more. These workshops will offer students an in-depth understanding of what it is like to work in the industry and the challenges that come with it. The Industry Experience programme aims to prepare Medicine students for their future careers in healthcare by providing them with a realistic understanding of the industry and the skills required to succeed in it.

Although there is a lot of information for students to absorb and plenty of opportunities for students to test themselves, our compassionate teachers can modify the level of difficulty according to the students’ comfort with English and ability to absorb new information. At SBC we do all we can to keep students on task and to provide a supportive environment.
A minimum level of B1 is advised in order to participate effectively in Medicine at Cambridge College.
Every student receives a certificate of completion during the graduation ceremony which we organise at the conclusion of the two-week course.
Students are provided with a great range of SBC materials made by our very own academic team.
Although students needn’t bring notebooks or folders to class because they are provided, students are urged to bring their own stationery.
Although there is no preparatory reading for this course, it would be useful for students to review what they have learned if they are lacking in confidence.
To become a doctor in The UK students need to have at least five GCSEs (or equivalent) grades 9-7 (A* or A) including English, Maths and Sciences. Three A-Levels (or equivalent, for example, the International Baccalaureate IB) including Chemistry and Biology are also required.
It can take up to 16 years to train to become a doctor before qualifying, according to the NHS and General Medical Council. It usually takes five years for your medical degree or six years if you want to study a subject such as the History of Medicine as part of an intercalated year. Two years are then required for your post-graduate general medical training foundation programme, and then a further three years of specialist training for a GP or between five to eight years for other specialities.
It was an excellent choice sending our daughter to Cambridge this summer. High-quality stay in an international environment with first-class course and entertainment offer. Congratulations to the SBC team!
