Getting into Medical School is not only about excellent academic achievement. Students need to be fully equipped to start a career in medicine, be up to speed with current medical issues, feel confident in interview, have some work experience and show a genuine and strong ambition to become a doctor.
Medicine can be emotionally and physically demanding so learning how to interact with patients and manage extremely stressful and distressing situations is essential to becoming a successful doctor.
I honestly believe if I didn’t get all the one-to-one sessions with Amy where I had to target the BMAT to my specific situation I wouldn’t have done as well. You get such personal attention at Ashbourne which is what my favourite thing was about the whole Medical School Programme.

My teachers continued to motivate me when I was struggling and encouraged me to improve in every lesson more than I thought possible of myself.
Ashbourne’s A level courses, taken in conjunction with the Medical School Programme, offer outstanding opportunities for ambitious and hardworking students who will benefit from the individual support and choice we offer to help our students reach the highest grades.
I am very proud of the results that I have achieved. I believe I could not have done it without the amazing support of the teachers at Ashbourne.

Our students consistently achieve outstanding results and students’ performance improvement is excellent, placing the college in the top 5% of UK schools and colleges for value added.
Around 64% of our students applying for degree courses in the UK go on to study at Russell Group universities, including UCL, King’s College London, Imperial, Warwick and Cambridge.
What attracted me to Ashbourne was the small class sizes and how personal everything felt between you and your teacher. The Medical School Programme gave me the skills and tools I needed to go into the interview and to write a good personal statement.
Ashbourne offers an adult-approach to learning which is less formal than most schools yet is demanding and disciplined. We believe this helps nurture confident, self-reliant and independent thinking students prepared for the next stages of their lives. We attract students from all over the world making the college a vibrant, diverse and exciting place to learn.
