Designed For:

The Foundation Entry Program is particularly geared to those who would like to apply to the EUC Schools of Medicine, Dentistry or Veterinary Medicine degree programs, but do not meet the admissions criteria for entry.  This may be based on one or all of the following:

  • Lacking Biology or Chemistry/Mathematics/Physics admissions requirement
  • Falling just short of the minimum grade requirements for admissions
  • Seeking a more complete candidate profile for admissions           

 

Students who successfully complete the modules with a cumulative grade of C+ (2.5/4.0 GPA) will receive a Certificate of Completion.
