Guy’s Campus
Tucked next to London Bridge and the historic Borough Market, Guy's Campus is a close-knit home for health and science students. With cutting-edge labs and buzzing central location, it offers an inspiring and unique place to study.
Overview
The Healthcare Entry Medicine (HEM) Programme is new for 2026 entry.
The programme has been designed to enable qualified healthcare professionals with a minimum of two years (full time equivalent) patient-facing clinical experience to study for a fast-track degree in medicine.
The programme enables you to establish the foundation in bioscience and population science required for a career in medicine, while adapting some of the early clinical elements of a conventional medical degree to achieve qualification in four rather than five or six years.
