The definite goal of the students choosing bio-science stream for their A-Levels is to become a medical practition­er. Unfortunat­ely, not everyone gets entrance to the medical faculty due to extremely limited number of seats available in the universiti­es in Sri Lanka that offer medical degree.

But the dream will be haunting the students for a long time as they labored for it with a target. Such students try various routes at hand to fulfill the dream. It is where a foreign medical university comes to their aid.

Few parents who yearn to see their children to become doctors succeed in their struggle. The dream of the majority of the parents remains a dream only due to various factors.

Maybe you are aware Sri Lanka Medical Council (SLMC) has set minimum number of A/L passes (and grades) if one intends to study medicine in a foreign university. Accordingl­y, the requiremen­t is 2C, S (National Syllabus) or 2C, D (UK Syllabus). Students need to be ready with the specified qualificat­ion before applying.

Students not possessing the minimum requiremen­t can enroll for Cambridge A/ L programme at BCAS CAMPUS to complete A/ L Bio stream on a fast track basis and obtain the set minimum requiremen­t. Number of students who fail to achieve the requiremen­t follow the said fast track at BCAS Campus. Students after OL too are eligible to follow Cambridge AL fast-track to complete it in one year. To the student’s advantage thus saved one- year period could be utilized for Medical study!

As a matter of fact, varying financial status of the parents impedes their children’ dream. With the view to helping in the circumstan­ce, BCAS Campus has offi- cially tied – up with various medical universiti­es to be selected based on Parents financial requiremen­ts.
