Answer 2

You need A's and A*'s at GCSE really.  I'm in my second year of medicine at the moment.  I got 4A*'s and 6A's at GCSE and 3A's at A-level.  The course is 5 years normally.  The exceptions are if you do a degree before then you could do a 4 year course of if you do a 1 year degree in the middle of your medicine degree it's 6 years.  The most important thing is to get a lot of work experience.  This doesn't have to be in a hospital or with a doctor but might include doing voluntary work at an old persons home for example or care home.

Answer 3

You need science, maths and english at GCSE level. Universities only look at your GCSE's if your a-levels don't use the skills that is needed to study medicine. They all want chemistry at a-level. The typical grades needed are AAB.

The medicine degree is 5 years generally (6 with art a-levels, 4 if studying medicine after you've a degree)
