Back Future Doctors - Tuition Fee Loans for graduates on 5 year medicine courses

Closed 110 signatures

What the petition asks

With the GEM (four year) degree programmes gradually being phased out, & competition for places at an all time high, graduates are turning to the 5 year courses. These 5 year courses are extremely costly (£9,000) with no finance support until the fifth year & may only be available for the richest.
