Year 11 MSC Summer School

Home » About » Information for schools » Year 11 Summer School

Introduction

Online medicine summer school

Are you interested in a career in medicine or healthcare? Our Year 11 Summer School, part of the national Medical Schools Council (MSC) Summer School programme, will give you an insight into the various clinical roles within the NHS through an interactive 3-day online experience.

The Year 11 Summer School will follow a patient journey from incident to recovery, allowing you to see how care is delivered within the NHS. You will get to work with doctors, health professionals and current medical students to find out more about what their roles involve, and how to get into these career routes.

The online sessions will be complimented by an optional visit day to our University of Hull campus to take part in practical hands-on workshops. There will also be a suite of online resources for you to access at your own pace, to find out more about going to university and the next steps you will be taking in your education.

The summer school is free of charge and all associated costs including the visit day to campus will be covered by Hull York Medical School.

MSC Summer Schools are a Medical Schools Council initiative in partnership with medical schools across England. The initiative is funded by Health Education England.

  • An asylum seeker or refugee

Or hold a minimum of two of the following:

  • Studying in a state school that achieved below the national average Attainment 8 score at GCSE. If this is not available for applicants previous school information can be used where they had attended to the age of 16
  • Studying in a state school that achieved below or well below the national average Progress 8 score. If this is not available for applicants, previous school information can be used where they had attended to the age of 16
  • From a school with a high percentage of students receiving free school meals

  • From a family where the parents do not have a university degree from the UK or abroad
  • In receipt of or eligible for free school meals or the 16-19 Bursary Fund or Discretionary Learner Support or Means Tested Benefit or Pupil Premium

Criteria is weighted, therefore students meeting higher priority criteria will be given preference on the programme where it is oversubscribed.

Where students apply to more than one MSC funded Summer School they are expected only to attend one, applications will be cross checked between medical schools to avoid this happening.
