Our Medicine MBBS degree provides an innovative and integrated curriculum to support your training and development as a medical professional.
We assess with equal weighting to achieved grades.
In a standard admissions cycle, we are able to consider applicants who have retaken their qualifications, however, you should bear in mind that your application for this programme will be reviewed alongside other strong applicants who might be viewed more favourably if they achieved the required grades within a standard timeframe, for example, a two year period for A-levels. We will only consider second resits if there are significant mitigating circumstances. In these situations we still cannot guarantee that your application will be considered, but you should submit a Mitigating Circumstances form so that this can be considered alongside your application. Please note, we consider taking the same subject again at the same level, even within a different qualification, to be a resit.
We consider applicants who have recently achieved grades which are below the entry criteria, and have subsequently studied/are studying another qualification to seek entry, such as an Access to HE Diploma or a Foundation programme, to be resit applicants.
Not required.

Our Extended Medical Degree course MBBS (EMDP) is specifically designed for students who are studying A levels or Access to Medicine at a non-selective state school or who are participants of Realising Opportunities across England. The course offers a more graduated introduction to medical study than the standard MBBS degree and provides greater academic and pastoral support.
To be eligible to apply, you must meet the following criteria:
You must have attended only non-selective state education since the age of 11. Please list all the schools that you have attended since the age of 11 on your UCAS application, even if some previously attended schools were not in the UK. A non-selective state school is a school that does not charge fees for attendance, and does not require you to pass an exam and / or undertake an interview to be considered for entry.
You cannot have started or completed a degree before submitting your application.
You must have sat the UCAT prior to submitting your application.
Special consideration will also be given to the following:
Applicants from schools with low attainment as defined by Progress 8 score
Applicants from low participation areas as determined by ACORN, POLAR and/or IMD
Participants of Realising Opportunities (who completed Realising Opportunities up until August 2021)
Participants who have completed King’s K+ or Medview / Dentview programmes
Applicants who are care experienced
Applicants with other widening participation backgrounds
