Outreach and Widening Participation in the College of Medicine and Health

Our work hopes to encourage school and college pupils to discover more about education, research and careers in biomedical science and healthcare. We are committed to supporting all pupils, especially those from a widening participation background, to access and engage with an excellent higher education experience.

We provide a range of activity, including school talks and visits to campus, with a focus on healthcare and research. We also look after our Pathways to Medicine peer mentoring programme undergraduate students that join the University through an access programme. Find out more about the opportunities available to students below.
