This video is so helpful! Thank you so much. I’m applying for GEM , 2023. However, now due to Brexit the funding for EU nationals has changed a bit. Would you mind doing a video about the new funding requirements? Thanks :)
Ollie, thank you very much for your useful information about the founding for the accelerated medicine course for graduate. They are so many rules and regulation as I was reading recently UKCISA Analysis Who pays ‘home’ fees for higher education in England? A guide for students starting courses on or after 1 August 2021 (plus any students who started their course before 1 August 2021 but want to use one of these categories for an academic year starting on or after 1 August 2021)
I'm a nurse applying for graduate entry medicine next year or the year after. Do you think it's feasible to work shifts as a nurse during medical school?
I believe generally in first year it would be very difficult to do that just because of how intense Year 1 GEM is, but in the years after it would likely be easier!
Hi Julia , Thinking of doing the same but wondering if I could still, some how, manage to do maybe 1 or two shifts. How is your preparation going? Have you made the move?
I'm sure someone has the data but I don't. I did work out the age range in my own cohort being something like 21-50. I think that's a probably slightly unsual upper end, I would guess-timate 21-40 being a reasonably good guess. Average for my cohort was around 25/26 I think at time of entry.
I am currently studying Msc Physcian associate studies . If I apply for the graduate entry medicine after my Msc will I still be eligible for the graduate loan and nhs bursary ?
Thanks Ollie! do u know if anyone in your year works. I hope to apply to GEM after my pre reg for my mpharm degree. I was hoping to work like 8 hours a week to add to my finances
Hi Ollie just wanted to know if the contribution made by the department of health for years 2,3 and 4 has to be paid back at some point like the student finance loan?
@@pammander2096 Bursary is means tested yes! And no, my understanding is that the DOH contribution is not paid back, but the remainder of the tuition fees are
Hi I'll answer this. You'll get the same maintenance loan as you would if you complete a normal undergrad course. I think it's 8k a year. However I believe you can get higher maintenance loan for graduate I think something around 10k or 14k. Thanks.
Full amount. You might get a means tested NHS bursary which might affect your maintenance loan but as far as I am aware you get the normal loans. Thanks.
im an international student, and it will cost me 195k for the four years (minus the living expenses). Gem is the only course I can get into to study medicine, but I have absolutely no idea how to fund it.
So for grad entry medicine you can get a tot of 7 years of tuition loan isn't it? During undergrad doesn't your student loan (eg. for biomed) covers the full amount of the tuition??
For the first 3 years (e.g. biomed degree) your student loan covers all the tuition. It works the same way for the next 4 years (the medical part) except there's the approx. £3000 you need to pay upfront, which you can't get a loan for. Once you've paid that, everything else is covered by a normal tuition loan!
that's manageable... I thought for so long you'd have to pay the full tuition in grad entry onwards... Still paying those 3k every year is no joke... thank you for the video though
I love how you go straight into the subject of the video no waffling
Finally feels simply explained, thank you
Did you make the same video for EU/INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS? If yes then plz provide the link for that video,thanks.
I have a pretty full-on unpaid job called being a parent to toddlers... I sure hope it will be possible to fit it all in when I start in September:(
Thanks for this video. Is the maintenance loan that you mentioned means tested? Does it adequately cover rent/food/bills?

Who pays ‘home’ fees for
higher education in England?
A guide for students starting courses
on or after 1 August 2021
(plus any students who started their course before 1 August 2021
but want to use one of these categories
for an academic year starting on or after 1 August 2021)

Hi Julia , Thinking of doing the same but wondering if I could still, some how, manage to do maybe 1 or two shifts. How is your preparation going? Have you made the move?
Where are the places you applied to for the graduate entry medicine! I’m struggling with tactics and choosing where I would want to go!
Great video - just wondering what roughly is the average age of students doing graduate medicine
I'm sure someone has the data but I don't. I did work out the age range in my own cohort being something like 21-50. I think that's a probably slightly unsual upper end, I would guess-timate 21-40 being a reasonably good guess. Average for my cohort was around 25/26 I think at time of entry.
@@OllieBurtonMed thanks so much for the reply Ollie. Your videos are really cool and well structured
Did you make the video for the EU?
I am currently studying Msc Physcian associate studies . If I apply for the graduate entry medicine after my Msc will I still be eligible for the graduate loan and nhs bursary ?
I think so! The medicine loan seems to be available to people of all stages
Hey, I already have a BSc and MSc in Biomedical Sciences, would you have any idea if student finance would still fund postgraduate medicine?
Same as me except I never got student finance. Paid international fees at the time. Now I'm looking to get into graduate medicine.
Hi, did u manage to find a solution to this?
So helpful. You deserve more subscribers.
Thanks Ollie! do u know if anyone in your year works. I hope to apply to GEM after my pre reg for my mpharm degree. I was hoping to work like 8 hours a week to add to my finances
I don't know of anyone right now but I'll do my best to find out!
Is it still paid for (4 years)?
Hi Ollie ! Is there any way to contact you about the kinds of medical shadowing you observed in order to support your medical school application ?
Hi, best way is to send me a message through the contact page on postgradmedic.com :)
Hi Ollie just wanted to know if the contribution made by the department of health for years 2,3 and 4 has to be paid back at some point like the student finance loan?
Also is the nhs bursary means tested?

@@OllieBurtonMed thank you so much Ollie, just researching for my son who is thinking of studying Dentistry. Have a lovely Christmas 🎄
Hi. If you do not mind me asking. How much maintenance loan if offered by student finance. I am told it is a reduced loan of approx 2.5k? But not sure
Hi I'll answer this. You'll get the same maintenance loan as you would if you complete a normal undergrad course. I think it's 8k a year. However I believe you can get higher maintenance loan for graduate I think something around 10k or 14k. Thanks.
Will you get a reduced maintenance loan or a full amount your entitled to
Full amount. You might get a means tested NHS bursary which might affect your maintenance loan but as far as I am aware you get the normal loans. Thanks.
i'm guessing this is the same case for studying an accelerated dentistry postgrad course?
As far as I know it is yes!
im an international student, and it will cost me 195k for the four years (minus the living expenses). Gem is the only course I can get into to study medicine, but I have absolutely no idea how to fund it.
same here hey
What don't you study in Europe e.g. Poland or Italy?? It works out much cheaper for you!
So for grad entry medicine you can get a tot of 7 years of tuition loan isn't it? During undergrad doesn't your student loan (eg. for biomed) covers the full amount of the tuition??
Also apart from a 2:1, did you sit ukcat? Or any other test,? What was your score?
For the first 3 years (e.g. biomed degree) your student loan covers all the tuition. It works the same way for the next 4 years (the medical part) except there's the approx. £3000 you need to pay upfront, which you can't get a loan for. Once you've paid that, everything else is covered by a normal tuition loan!
that's manageable... I thought for so long you'd have to pay the full tuition in grad entry onwards... Still paying those 3k every year is no joke... thank you for the video though
Thank you.
did you sit the GAMSAT? if so can you do a video on it. Thank you
I did not I'm afraid, but I will try to find someone who did!
Thanks Ollie, very helpful vid.
Thanks so much.
Waiting for the EU video!
Or just vote Labour.
