Part-time medicine?

What the hell?

Just read this on BBC news:

"It's a been a long, hard road and I would like to say a huge thanks to the [Cardiff] school of medicine for allowing me to undertake my studies, part-time [over 8 years!]."

Link: BBC News - Wales rugby centre Jamie Roberts qualifies as doctor

I didn't think this was possible, regardless of privileged status/ or other commitments, such as rugby in this case. Amongst other things, I thought medical students were obliged to study full time to fulfill regulatory requirements of an acceptable medical degree. But clearly this is not the case, and there is some flexibility.

So, does Anyone think GEM admissions schools would be open to pleading to study part time?

This is of especial interest to me because I can't afford to study any medical programme with the current funding arrangements full-time.

Your thoughts are welcomed.
