By attending for 2-weeks, you’ll get to experience many different world-class hospitals and gain the most work experience possible for your medical school applications. On our 2-week hospital placements, we get many UK and international students, so it’s always a wonderful atmosphere and the best preparation for your future medical career.
London has something for everyone; all tastes, budgets and interests. Blessed with modern buildings that sit seamlessly with truly historical ones, it’s hard not to be impressed by London and the thriving city it has become. London is really a collection of neighbourhoods, all knitted together and packed full of culture, entertainment and fun, with surprises at every junction. Home to over 40,000 shops, it’s a shopping mecca whilst also being one of the greenest cities on earth with fabulous parks and gardens dotted all over the city.
We’ve been running our Our 2-Week projects in London since 2015 and each year it is well attended by students who both live in the UK and students from all over the world. Since we’ve started we’ve thousands of students attend the project all with the aim of finding out if medicine is for them and to obtain some priceless hospital work experience to use in their applications to medical school.
Our staff team can collect you from either London Heathrow Airport or Kings Cross Railway station. If it works better for you, you can choose to arrive directly at the accommodation.
Once you have settled into your room, we will gather for a brief welcome session, after which we will have our first meal together.
After you have enrolled on our hospital work experience course, you’ll gain access to your Premed Portal webpage, where you can read more extensive project notes and also let us know how you would like to meet up with the team.
You accommodation in London with us is included as standard. At Premed Projects, we strive to ensure your stay is truly unforgettable. We believe that sharing the experience with fellow students who have similar interests is an essential aspect of the course. We understand that after a rigorous day at the medical school or hospital, you would want to unwind and feel at ease.
We have hosted medical projects in London for several years now, and we find it an ideal base for the course.
All Premed Project accommodation is kitted out to ensure you have everything you need during your stay with us. On our London hospital placement course, we’ve some really stylish accommodation awaiting you. You’ll have a safe and secure space to call your own during your project with us.
All of our rooms are shared between 2 students, with your own private ensuite bathroom, providing you with everything you need for a good night’s sleep.
We also have lots of communal space too, making for a great atmosphere. All rooms are comfortably furnished, so you can be sure your free time outside your hospital placement is going to be every bit as enjoyable as your time spent within the hospitals.
Downstairs you’ll find lots of chill-out areas and study areas too, perfect for that UCAT cramming. During your stay, you have access to:
Meals are not included in the course fee. Most students choose to add our optional Meal Plan (£455), which provides breakfast and evening meals for the duration of your course. You can add this after booking through your online Premed Portal webpage. On your final evening we all head to a restaurant together as a group for our final group meal and farewell dinner.
If you prefer not to add meals, our accommodation is within easy reach of hundreds of cafés, supermarkets and restaurants and your room has cooking facilities in it too.
What’s in the Meal Plan
Breakfast
Each morning, head to the lobby for a generous self-serve buffet. You’ll find bowls of fresh, seasonal fruit; chilled jugs of juices; and a hot-drinks station with tea and freshly brewed coffee. There’s a bakery spread of pastries and croissants alongside a choice of cereals, plus a savoury selection of sliced meats. Help yourself and take what you fancy to start the day well.
Evening Meals
Each night, our private caterers serve a hot, chef-prepared dinner in the accommodation. The menu changes daily—think aromatic katsu curries over fluffy rice; crisp superfood salads loaded with grains, seeds and greens; duck spring rolls with a sweet-chilli dip; ravioli in seasonal sauces; and crowd-pleasing pizzas straight from the oven. Expect generous portions, plenty of choice, and seconds if you’re still peckish.
Dietary Requirements
We’re happy to accommodate halal, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free diets and anything else—just let us know in advance.
Lunches During Hospital/University Days
Lunch isn’t included in the Meal Plan. On weekdays you’ll usually eat at the hospital cafeteria during placements, or at the university student union on campus days. On some days we also arrange a buffet lunch.
If you’re attending a 2-week course, you can really make the most of being in London and will get the chance to also have some free time so why not explore with your fellow students and go and see London. Each evening we have a curfew of 9pm. That’s when we require all students to check in and register with one of your project leaders at the accommodation. Your’e then free to enjoy the accommodation with your fellow students but we ask that you don’t leave again after this time!
Approximately two weeks before your experience begins, we will send you your exact timetable so you know what you’ll be doing each day.
To give you an idea of what to expect, here’s an example of how your week will be structured while you’re with us. Please keep in mind this is just a sample of how your course may look, your exact timetable is sent 2-weeks before your start date:
Jodie is the friendly Project leader of our UK team! Throughout your project, you’ll have a team of dedicated project leaders to assist you, along with a night manager who’s on-site all evening to ensure your comfort.

Our number one priority is that you are safe and secure during your time with us and our head office is in constant contact with all our staff teams running the projects.
