Here are some comments from students who successfully completed the M&D Pre-Med and are now studying at various medical schools:

"I got in touch with M&D over 2 years ago when I discovered that my A-level grades were no where near what UK medical schools would even consider. Having had specialist guidance from the M&D Pre-Med team for UKCAT, personal statements and interviews I have just been accepted by one of the most competitive medical schools in the UK! My thanks to M&D and I would strongly recommend this pathway to medical school to any student that is determined to work hard and be determined to achieve what they set their mind to."

Stuart Gibson, starting at Brighton & Sussex Medical School in September 2010

"Having completed the M&D Foundation® at Albion College, I had a strong foundation in medical science and felt ready for medical school. The staff at M&D and Albion College were very helpful and supportive, making my time in central London very enjoyable. I then progressed onto the M&D Pre-Med® Programme which was a great experience of being at university, advancing my knowledge of medical sciences and therefore enhancing my application for UK medical school. The M&D staff were very supportive and greatly enhanced my UCAS application for medical school. As soon as i was invited for interview, they helped to prepare me and made me a very strong applicant. I was delighted when i secured a place into a UK medical school and am very grateful to M&D for providing me with this opportunity."

Vanessa Fotso, second year medical student at Hull & York Medical School

"I can't thank M & D Enough, they helped me decide the best way to get into medical school, provided a great M&D Pre-Med which well prepared me for medical school. They helped me with my UCAS application and I got into Newcastle University, one of the best medical schools in the Country. I am now graduating this summer and will start work as a Junior Doctor in August. I highly recommend seeking M & D's help if you want to study medicine."
Andrew Saltissi BA Hons, MA, MBBS

"As an anxious 18 year old set on dentistry, M&D relieved me of much greater stress by providing me with so many options, preventing me from potentially being stuck in clearing had things not worked out. The M&D team (especially Kal) were always happy to help and any questions were met with an instant response. All help and support has been greatly appreciated."
Zenab Mushtaq, starting 1st year dentistry at Liverpool Dental School

The Pre-Med course is an excellent course. The tutors are top class, providing a great atmosphere for learning and allowing you to expand your knowledge on various topics. I would definitely recommend the Pre-Med course to anyone who would like further their education and especially to anyone who would like to apply to a university abroad to study either medicine or dentistry, in particular Cardenal Herrera University in Valencia.
Harjot khambay, starting 1st year dentistry at Cardenal Herrera, Spain

''I am delighted to have been a part of the M & D group for the last year. I made an application to the Cardenal Herrera University in Valencia to study Dentistry. Having completed a few years of Dentistry at a London University, after much research I was keen to apply to Valencia. I took up the Spanish Language course with the M and D group as part of the requirement to study in Spain and with the support of the tutor it was made straight forward, relevant and easy to grasp as well as being enjoyable. Whilst I look forward to commencing my studies at the Cardenal Herrera University, reflecting back on this last year it has to be noted that the application procedure through M and D was made stress free, comfortable, easy and there was always somebody on their team at hand to help with any queries. I can truly say that M and D have given me my future to look forward to and I do thank them greatly as without their help and support I wouldn't have had the chance to pursue my ambition of studying Dentistry in Valencia ''
Kalika Shah, starting 3rd year at cardinal Herrera, Spain

"I'd recommend this course to anyone serious about Medicine. It's very useful and the support given to us to secure a place at medical school is great! The programme opens up many opportunities, both in the UK and abroad and sets you well on your way to a successful career in medicine whatever your academic background may be!"
Kiran Rahim, Pre-Med student, now at Barts and the London Queen Mary's School of Medicine and Dentistry

"I would highly recommend this Pre-Med Programme to anyone who has been unsuccessful in getting a medical school place. The course really prepares and increases your chances of securing a place. All involved are really helpful and provide all kinds of useful training and advice about different opportunities that you would have otherwise not known about. You are offered a medical place at SMU on the Cayman Islands before you start anyway, that's what appealed to me. Very highly recommended."
Deepa Bangaru Raju, Pre-Med student, now at Brighton and Sussex Medical School

"The Pre-med programme at University of Sussex has proven a lifeline to many applicants previously unsuccessful in gaining a place at medical schools in the UK, and indeed around the world. A truly in-depth coverage of the biological, chemical and physical sciences, as well as the unique seminar course in the third term titled 'Health, A matter of National Concern', have helped to confirm my desire to study medicine. In addition to providing provisional acceptance to SMU, the course is increasingly being viewed positively by a UK medical schools for undergraduate applicants. Backed by excellent student support and an easy-going atmosphere, the multi-lingual, multicultural international scene on campus is remarkable, and homesickness goes right out the window from day one! In a nutshell, the University of Sussex on the south coast gets the best weather in England, has a superb nightlife, and is simply THE place to meet new people and forge life-long friendships. Oh and while you're at it, don't forget to do well in class to qualify for the next year at medical school."
Sameer Patel, Pre-Med student now at Brighton and Sussex Medical School

Having researched about studying abroad, I had always come across websites telling me about studying in Eastern Europe. However, when I came across M&D group, and contacted Kal thereafter, he then opened my eyes to the opportunity to study Dentistry in Spain. I was always skeptical about studying in Eastern Europe, due to the complex languages such as Czech, but luckily for me having studied Spanish at school, this opportunity worked out perfectly for me! It all seemed too good to be true. However, when Kal organised a trip to visit Cardenal Herrera in Valencia during the Easter, I can honestly say I was shocked. The university was beautiful. The campus was filled with loads of busy students, not to mention the palm trees and fountains as well, which made the environment seem so comfortable to be in. We visited the Dental department, and the facilities were "top notch", and I found that the lecturers that we met were extremely helpful as well.

Currently, I am in my final term of the Pre-Med course. Being on a gap year, I found that by participating in this course, it has allowed me to keep my mind ticking, rather than lazing around all day. We have covered many relative topics to a university standard, such as the systems of the human body and human diseases (both subjects being very important in the pre-clinical years for both medics and dental students). The course may be called Pre-MED, but we have also covered subjects relevant to dental students specifically. The course is 3 days a week (which gives us a LONG weekend =] ), and Kal has arranged Spanish lessons for the group of us going to Cardenal Herrera next year on Thursday afternoon. Even after studying Spanish at school, I have personally found this extremely helpful to brush up on my linguistic skills, as well as thoroughly enjoying the opportunity to learn.

We are finishing term soon, and I cannot wait till September. Finding M&D has changed my pathway to becoming a dentist in a massive way. Instead of dreading the thought of studying abroad, I now genuinely cannot wait to go. Viva Espana!
Bhavin Kakkad, starting 2nd year dentistry in Valencia in Spain

"My year on the M&D Pre-med Programme provided me with a strong foundation for the subjects I have encountered at St. Matthews University, School of Medicine. I thoroughly enjoyed all the subjects at SMU from physiology to behavioural science. Grand Cayman is a wonderful island, with people from all different areas of the world; it's a real learning experience I feel everyone should go through.I am aiming to go through clinical rotations both in the UK and the US, due to the fact that M&D Pre-med offers everyone an opportunity to gain medical experience both outside and inside the United Kingdom. I am glad I entered this programme and whether you study Medicine in England or on Cayman Islands, your success depends on the effort you put in and the knowledge you gain and the M&D Pre-med left me very well prepared."
Enyo Agamasu Pre-Medical student, now at SMU

“I have been a student on the M&D Premed course for the 2010-11 year. The course material covered provides an excellent base for Medical and Dental students, and I feel that when I start Dental school I will be at an advantage over the other students, having covered the groundwork and key principles behind many important topics. This course is ideal for students who haven't been successful with UK schools. The Director, Mr Makwana, does a very good job in assessing each students individual circumstances and judging which Medical and Dental school is best for them. He does this by providing regular contact and having an "open door" approach to the students which is much appreciated. The M&D group shows that ambitions can still be realised even after setbacks in life.”
Samir Matijia, starting 2nd year dentistry in Valencia in Spain

"The M&D Pre Med year in Sussex provided me with an excellent foundation for my medical career. I found the year was highly beneficial and enabled me to successfully complete my basic sciences at St Matthews University, Grand Cayman. Upon finishing my basic sciences I carried out my clinical rotations in Whipps Cross University Hospital, Leytonstone, London. I would highly recommend this career path to anyone interested in perusing a medical career"
Maura Henry, Graduate of St Matthews University

I joined the M&D Pre-Med course in January 2011 and found it a great way to pursue a career opportunity which was previously not open to me. The work that medipathways does allows students to have a second chance at a career they love and this is invaluable. We studied various biological topics during the course of the Pre-Med many of which are relevant and topical to everyday life. The two terms I spent at Birkbeck have given me a solid foundation of medical knowledge from which to begin my studies as a Dental student. I was also given the opportunity to do some hands-on work in labs where we dissected lungs and a heart. I got to meet students from a wide range of backgrounds and cultures whilst studying the course, allowing me to make many lasting friendships.
Akshay Shah, starting 2nd year entry in Valencia in Spain

"The Pre-Medical programme definitely offers opportunities for many applicants formerly unsuccessful in gaining a place at a UK medical school. As a really intensive course that covers chemistry and biology in-depth, it is recognised by a number of UK medical schools. Impressive student support and approachable academic staff are the two key elements of the programme that benefit students. The University of Sussex, located on the south coast, enjoys the best weather in the UK. The multicultural international atmosphere in such a beautiful campus was something that I really liked about the course. However, do not forget to work hard to qualify for the next year at medical school."
Shadi Shahzadi Pre-Med student 2006/7, now at St. Andrews, Bute Medical School

"The M&D Pre-Med at Sussex has provided me with an ideal opportunity to secure a place at a British or an overseas medical school. The course has given me a chance to experience life at university, which has been challenging yet very enjoyable, which is excellent preparation for when I begin medical school. Before I started the course, my options were to either re-take my 'A/AS' levels or embark on a three-year science degree, or to just not apply to medical school at all. This course has not only saved me a lot of time, but as the focus is on Medicine - has led to UK medical schools viewing my application far more positively. It is an imperative consideration for those students who have been unsuccessful in their application to any UK medical school."
Faisal Hanjra, from Surrey - Medicine at Bart's and the London, School of Medicine & Dentistry, University of London

"I feel the M&D Pre-Med has allowed me to appreciate a challenging course at university level, hence opening doors within the medical profession, whilst experiencing the scenic location of Brighton and the most of a university life."
G. Mason, from Brighton - medical student at St. Matthews University

"My year on the M&D Pre-Med Programme provided me with a strong foundation for the subjects I have encountered at St. Matthews University, School of Medicine. At SMU, many of my classmates are from the U.S. and are more advanced in age and experience and they all have a science degree. Despite this, the knowledge I acquired from pre med did not leave me feeling inadequate. I thoroughly enjoyed all the subjects at SMU from physiology to behavioral science.Grand Cayman is a wonderful island, with people from all different areas of the world; it's a real learning experience I feel everyone should go through. In addition to that each student will spend a semester on the Miami campus, taking introduction to clinical medicine and being given the chance to take the US Medical Licensing Exam in order to work in The States.I am aiming to go through clinical rotations both in the UK and the US, due to the fact that M&D Pre-med offers everyone an opportunity to gain medical experience both outside and inside the United KingdomI am glad I entered this programme and whether you study Medicine in England or on Cayman Islands, your success depends on the effort you put in and the knowledge you gain and M&D Pre-med left me very well prepared."
Ms. Enyo Agamasu, from Portsmouth, England - medical student at St. Matthews University

"Due to the M&D, I have spent 2 semesters at St Matthew's University School of Medicine, and I would recommend it to anyone who is considering going. The M&D staff were incredible and processed my application quickly and answered all the questions I had, so I was fully aware of what I was going to be heading towards.Every second I have spent on the island has been amazing. I have been pushed into the deep-end, studying subjects like Gross Anatomy, Neuroscience and Pathology with an intense focus on clinical applications. The basic science years are difficult – but there is a wonderful, caring faculty supporting you every step of the way. The small population of students is advantageous; you have a home-away-from-home with many people from different walks of life who ultimately are there for the same reason as you – to study hard in order to practice Medicine! The island is absolutely stunning – and you would be surprised at how easy studying becomes when you are overlooking a bright blue sky and sea.M&D offers its students great opportunities like studying clinical rotations both in the UK and US. I fully plan to take advantage of this, as I think it will open so many doors for my future as a Doctor. M&D offer great opportunities to those who are ready for a life-long learning in Medicine."
