Bookings are now open for Cardiff University’s Medicine Taster Days (Friday 21 June and Saturday 22 June 2019, Heath Park Campus).  

Our Medicine Taster Days offer you a choice of two identical days packed with Medicine-related activities and talks.  Each day we run one programme specifically for students alongside another tailored to the needs of those who support them.

•     Our full-day Student Programme covers key elements of becoming a doctor, with talks on our selection process, life as a doctor, funding for your medical degree, Case Based Learning and a Q&A panel as well as workshops covering Clinical Skills, Simulation Suite, life as a medical student, Multiple Mini Interviews (MMIs) and writing your personal statement. We also provide you with lunch and plenty of opportunity to talk to our students about what medical school is really like.

•     Our separate, full-day Accompanying Person’s programme, designed for a parent, guardian, careers advisor or teacher, covers most of the same subjects but from an angle that looks at the support they, and we, can provide over the next few years.

Prospective medical students are invited to bring one parent, guardian, careers advisor or teacher with them but are also welcome to come on their own.  Individual teachers, careers advisors or parents can also attend without a student if they wish. 

Tickets for this popular event are free but do need to be booked
