You Can Be A Doctor: Events
UCAT Workshop
Prepare with confidence
Join our annual one-day UCAT workshop designed specifically for S5 pupils preparing to apply to medical school. Our interactive, face-to-face sessions are led by experienced medical students and doctors who understand the challenges of the UCAT and how to overcome them.
What to expect
-
Small-group learning - Learn in a supportive environment with a low student-to-tutor ratio to ensure personalised guidance.
-
Discussion-based sessions - Work through real UCAT-style questions in open discussions that encourage peer learning and critical thinking.
-
Section-specific strategies - Each UCAT section is covered in detail, with focused tips and techniques tailored to help you improve.
-
Honest insights from current medics - Hear firsthand experiences from those who’ve sat the UCAT and successfully navigated medical school admissions.
Who can attend?
-
Pupils at Scottish state schools applying to medicine in this application cycle
-
Mature/graduate applicants who previously attended a state school and are studying (or have studied) at a Scottish college/university
Places are limited and prioritised for those from widening participation (WP) backgrounds. If we can't offer you a place, you’ll still be able to access our UCAT resources via our website, YouTube, and social media.
