When it comes to students applying for medicine or dentistry, a crucial hurdle in the UCAS application is creating a stand out personal statement. It’s all about letting your unique personality take centre stage, while demonstrating an unwavering commitment and passion for a medical or dental career.
With over 15 years experience in university administration, and having helped thousands of students secure a spot in medical and dental school, we understand what makes a strong application. This year, with changes to the personal statement structure, it’s more important than ever to get it right. That’s why we’re inviting students to attend an upcoming Get Into Medicine or Dentistry conference.

Applications for the free National NHS Virtual Work experience programme have now reopened for spring! This programme has supported over 30,000 secondary school students to obtain free work experiences last year. Virtual work experiences have been accepted by the Medical Schools and Dental Schools Council as valuable alternatives to in-person shadowing, backed by the Health Education England Discovery report on the impact of virtual work placements.
This programme is brought to you by Birmingham Universities Hospitals Trust in collaboration with Medic Mentor, and it is completely free. Not only is this a reliable alternative to in-person shadowing, but it also plays a significant role in preparing students for their in-person work placements with structured teaching and opportunities to speak directly with healthcare professionals. The opportunity is open to any student across the UK from 14 years old and above.
Crafted in collaboration with Birmingham Universities Hospitals Trust, this thoughtfully curated 6-month medical and 4-month dental programme provides a unique glimpse into the medical and dental fields. The e-learning format enables students to fulfil their placements at their own pace, covering ethics, procedures, broader team roles, and fostering direct dialogues with doctors and dentists. This virtual experience creates a strong foundation for students’ future careers, not only enhancing their UCAS applications but also strategically preparing them for practical work experience opportunities.

Taking part in the Virtual Work Experience will provide:

– Flexible Participation:Tailored for students from years 10-13/S3-S6/NI10-14, the programme accommodates various schedules by being virtual. Participants have one month to complete each specialty, ensuring flexibility and ease of participation.
– Recognised Certification: Upon successful completion of all specialities, students will receive a certificate from Medic Mentor and UHB, validating their active participation to include in their UCAS and apprenticeships applications.
This month’s spotlight is on Obstetrics & Gynaecology or Paediatric & Dental Surgery. It’s a chance to get a firsthand look into the inner workings of the medical and dental fields, helping your students shape their career aspirations in their chosen path.
If you’re thinking about what comes next after school, college or university, you’re not alone. Engineering construction is one of the UK’s most in-demand industries – and it’s looking for people just like you.
A career in engineering construction offers an excellent starting salary, opportunities for international travel and the chance to make a real, positive impact on the world around you. Did you know around 40,000 additional workers will be needed by 2030?
What is engineering construction?
From the heat that warms our homes and the clean water we drink to the fuel that powers our journeys, the engineering construction industry keeps society moving. People working in engineering construction design, test, install, operate, maintain and decommission facilities across eight essential sectors, including power, renewables, water and pharmaceuticals.
You could be a welder, pipefitter, electrician, mechanical fitter, project manager, designer, scaffolder or site manager – and that’s just the beginning. There are hundreds of exciting career paths to explore.
Here are our top 5 ways to get started:
