How the UK Medical process works
Medical school admissions are highly competitive in the UK. Each medical school has its own entry requirements, assessment tests, and interview methods. At Hansard, we have current and ex-medicine graduates to provide all the necessary guidance to submit a successful application, including UCAT & BMAT test preparation, interview prep, and a personal statement.
Standard Applicants
A*AA at A-levels, including Biology and Chemistry, are the required grades for applicants at this level.
International Baccalaureate: A total of at least 35 points, with three Higher Level subjects at 766, including Chemistry and Biology. Generally, it is a 5-6-year long degree, depending on the university.
Graduate Applicants
Bioscience graduates will be considered with a minimum of 2:1 (upper second-class honours), and all other graduates with 2:1 grades and AA at A-Level in both Biology and Chemistry (or international equivalent). Generally, it is a four-year accelerated degree.
Admissions test: UCAT & BMAT
The University Clinical Aptitude Test (UCAT) is a computer-based test that takes place between May and September. UCAS publishes the results in early November and delivers it directly to the universities.
The Biomedical Admissions Test (BMAT) is a 2-hour medical admissions assessment. BMAT's October session starts in September and finishes at the end of October. BMAT publishes the results near the end of November and delivers it directly to the universities.
