“I heardabout SwanseaUniversity through theGAMSATwebpage as Swansea is one of the Universities that accepts this entry examination for Graduate Entry Medicine. I applied through UCAS and the instructions were very easy to follow - you can also visit the Swansea webpage to see what is required. As I am from Thailand, I needed a 7 in IELTS, a recommendation letter from my previous university, a 2:1 in my bachelor’s degree and a good GASMAT score. “I came to Swansea for 3 days for my interview - I spent the first two days getting to know my teachers, mentors and international peers through visits that the Medical School arranged and by the time I got to my interview on the third day I felt like I already knew my peers. Just be yourself in your interview, it’s a very lovely environment and everybody is here to help”
