Access to Medicine

Access to Medicine (part of the Lancaster Access Programme) helps students in Year 12 to discover medicine as a possible future career and supports them to apply to medical school in the future. Students who partake in Access to Medicine will discover what it's like to learn at Lancaster Medical School and receive expert advice and guidance about how to make a successful medical application. If they successfully complete all aspects of the programme, they may be offered a guaranteed interview should they choose to apply to Lancaster Medical School in the future.

Let our students show you what they love about their undergraduate programmes.

Students from across our undergraduate subject areas of Medicine, Sports and Exercise Science and our range of Bioscience programmes, show what they think about studying at Lancaster University. From the joy of discovering new aspects of the human body to building confidence in themselves and their abilities to finding solutions to global challenges, our students grow throughout their studies.

Welcome to the Biosciences

The Biosciences at Lancaster University encompasses Biology, Biomedicine, Biochemistry, Zoology and Ecology & Conservation, and seeks to provide you with the tools to answer the challenges facing the planet today.

Welcome to Sports and Exercise Science

We study people.

We study how they move, how they think, and how they react under pressure. We study how their bodies respond to exercise; from couch to 5k, to monitoring elite athletic performance. We examine how exercise is beneficial before surgical procedures, how the menstrual cycle impacts injury susceptibility, and how exercise benefits mental health. We study all this and much, much more.

Welcome to Medicine and Surgery

We want future healthcare to be aligned with the backgrounds and needs of the communities it serves. This means not only striving for excellence in research and academic standards, but also examining the factors that contribute to positive health for everyone. We are passionate about inspiring future generations to address health inequalities. We are justly proud of the community we have created within Lancaster Medical School. As a team, we nurture talent to bring out the full potential of our students.
