BrightIdeas
BrightIdeas 2025 is a Medical Schools Council initiative funded by the NHS that is being delivered by Brighton and Sussex Medical School, University of Southampton and University of Surrey.
What is the BrightIdeas programme?
BrightIdeas provides aspiring medics in Year 12, across England, the opportunity to develop the knowledge and skills required to submit a competitive application to medical school. The programme is centred around participants undertaking a research project that combines scientific literature with insights from people with lived experience of chronic conditions. Alongside completing the project with the support of a current medical student, participants also attend four online events and an in-person 4-day, 3-night summer school. Further programme details including session dates, content, eligibility criteria and the application form can be found on the BrightIdeas 2025 webpage.
