We require a minimum of an upper second-class (2.1) honours in your Bachelor’s or integrated Master’s degree. We will consider graduate applicants from any discipline, provided you meet our minimum GCSE requirements and have a BBB or ABC at A-level including a B grade in either Chemistry or Biology.
We require at least three A-levels with a minimum of grades AAB, including Chemistry or Biology, and one of Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Maths and the third in any subject. Grades can be in any order.
We do not accept A-levels in General Studies, Critical Thinking, Citizenship Studies or Global Perspectives.
We will consider Scottish Advanced Highers either alone or in combination with A-levels. Our standard offer is AAB, to include Chemistry or Biology, and one of Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Maths or Psychology. We will also consider the 2 sciences at Advanced Higher (grade AA) plus 3 other subjects at Highers level (grades AAB). We will not consider you if you are only taking Scottish Highers.
We require a minimum score of 34 points overall, and a minimum score of 6, 6, 6 in three Higher Level subjects including Chemistry or Biology, and one of Biology, Chemistry, Physics or Maths.

This course is only available to International students. Home applications are not possible for this course at present.
This course uses multiple teaching methods.
Students begin their training with three years of ‘pre-clinical’ work, involving study of the basic medical sciences. This is followed by the ‘clinical’ course, during which you will work in hospital wards under the supervision of consultants.
Team-Based Learning (TBL) is an active learning method that engages students in a structured approach. Students collaborate with their team to solve problems and receive immediate feedback.
Case-Based Learning (CBL) is a tutorial-based, group learning approach where students work through real-world clinical scenarios across subjects such as cardiology, respiratory, and gastroenterology.
During each session, you’ll identify key learning outcomes and use them to guide your study, following a patient case from initial presentation through to diagnosis and management.
The goal of CBL is to help students apply theoretical knowledge to practical situations. This better prepares you for reviewing real cases during clinical placements.
Students who are predicted to meet our academic requirements will be considered for interview.
We may consider resits.
Clinical work experience is not mandatory. We think it is beneficial for applicants to undertake work experience of some form before applying so that you are aware of what a career caring for people may involve, and elements from this will be used during the selection process.
Your personal statement will be assessed during the shortlisting process when determining whether you will be invited to interview.
None.
The interview process will be conducted online and involves a series of multiple mini-interviews and tests. You will be assessed on your values, behaviours, communication and problem-solving skills. We are seeking students who can demonstrate a commitment to a career in medicine and lifelong learning, who have excellent communication skills, who are caring, compassionate, resilient and assertive, and who can remain calm and reassuring in stressful situations.
