Choose your focus
theMSAG offers customisation like no other. Every student has a say in what aspect of medicine or application prep they participate in. Don’t need a BMAT and UCAT course? Attend an ophthalmology or dermatology session instead! The choice is yours.

PICK YOUR PROGRAM
theMSAG two-week residential summer school is the perfect choice for any student looking to become one of tomorrow’s doctors. Whether it is to explore which career path you want to take in the healthcare sciences, discover the breadth of medical and surgical specialities available or to get a head start in your application, we have the programme that suits you. Previous participants describe the 2-weeks residential programme as a life-changing experience.
You have 2 programmes to choose from:
Medicine, Surgery & Healthcare Discovery School
2 weeks full of hands-on clinical experience! Meet real patients, discover medical, surgical and healthcare specialties and learn the relevant anatomy, physiology and clinical skills for each one. We use modern teaching methods with small groups and dissection.
Spend a day immersed in the life of an Ophthalmologist, Obstetrician, Junior doctor, Cardiologist, Neuro-scientist, Respiratory specialist...
Highlights include: surgical skills on real animal parts, clinical sessions taught by qualified doctors and a lot more!
This is a great experience if you know medicine is for you or if you are trying to figure out which career path to follow.
Medicine Preparation Summer School
The medicine preparation summer school includes half of the clinical activities of the Medicine, Surgery & Healthcare Discovery School. You will be able to pick the ones where you have the greatest clinical interest in.
With the other half of your time, you’ll receive the most comprehensive preparation for Medical School that theMSAG has to offer. This includes: admissions counselling, one-to-one personal statement prep, one-to-one consulting and strategy with Dr Dibah Jiva, complete UCAT and BMAT courses and interview experience.
It's the best of both worlds: the clinical hands-on experiences will help build your application strength and nurture your passion for the biological sciences while the admissions preparation part makes sure you are ahead of the crowd with your application.
