Gateway is a one-year course designed to support you towards the five-year Dundee MBChB course if you meet relevant criteria.
Maybe you haven't studied chemistry to a high enough level or perhaps your grades have suffered due to hardship in your personal, home, or school life.
Our experienced staff will support you from day one and work closely with you to help you achieve your potential. You'll also benefit from our small and friendly learning community that will make you feel at home and support your learning.
As far as possible, what you study will be tailored to your personal academic needs and aspirations. If you are short of chemistry, maths, or physics, or you are still not confident in these subjects, you will study those in Semester 1.
Once you have chosen the right science subjects to help you progress, you'll select other subjects to complete your timetable.
