We don’t have a minimum threshold score; however, we may use UCAT/GAMSAT scores in our application assessment procedure. You must also show you have an awareness of the healthcare system in the UK and the nature of the medical training in your personal statement. If you’d like to progress from one of the feeder streams to the four year graduate entry medicine programme (A101/A102), you will be subject to our admissions criteria in the year you start your officiated feeder course and not the year of entry to the four-year graduate entry medicine programme. Dental graduates Dental graduates must have completed further postgraduate training and obtained appropriate professional qualifications, as well as meeting the above criteria. Please submit a full CV (curriculum vitae) to the Admissions Office when you apply. Scoring your application We will assess your application and give you a score based on your best nine GCSEs/Level 2 qualifications. Post A-level/Level 3 applicants will receive additional points for qualifications achieved. Our interview process We won’t make an offer without an interview. All applicants must meet the minimum requirements at Level 2 (typically GCSE) and Level 3 (typically A-level) in order to be eligible for consideration for interview. If you meet the minimum entry requirements your application will be given a numerical score. Eligible applicants will be ranked according to this score and the top ranking applicants will be invited to interview. Multiple mini interviews We use the multiple mini interview (MMI) format, which is a series of short, carefully timed interview stations that you will rotate around in turn. The MMIs help us to determine if you: - can think on your feet - have thought about some of the issues that are important to the profession - can critically appraise information - can communicate ideas effectively. They also focus on exploring the personal qualities and attributes that are important to your future career development. These interviews allow us to meet you in person and assess information that isn’t always readily forthcoming in the application process—they aren’t intended to test the amount of prior knowledge you have about the subject or the profession, though you must show you have an awareness of the healthcare system in the UK and the nature of the medical training in your personal statement. ENROLMENT CONDITIONS Before you start your course, you will also need to undergo a health check—including screening for blood-borne viruses and tuberculosis—by our Occupational Health Service. If you are non-immune to Hepatitis B, you will need to complete a full immunisation programme before taking part in clinical procedures. Having a blood-borne virus or other infectious diseases won’t prevent you from completing this course and obtaining General Medical Council registration, but some specialities won’t be open to you during training or in your career. If you have a health issue that you think might have an impact on your ability to study or practise, please contact us before submitting an application. "
