A Level: BBC including Chemistry or Biology at B grade. Physics or Maths must also be offered if Chemistry is not taken. Certain combinations are not acceptable, specifically:
Chemistry with Biology and Human Biology
Chemistry with Mathematics and Further Mathematics.
Applicants who are studying both Chemistry and Biology, who are predicted ABB or greater with the A in Chemistry or Biology and also meet the Widening Participation criteria are not eligible to apply to A101 and should apply via the Access to Leeds route to the A100 course.
Applicants predicted ABB without the A in Chemistry or Biology, and applicants who are not taking both Chemistry and Biology A-Levels, are not eligible to apply to A100. They should therefore apply to the Gateway course if they meet the Widening Participation criteria.
BB at Advanced Higher including Biology or Chemistry, and BBBBC at Standard Level. Applicants with achieved or predicted Advanced Higher grades of AA, are not eligible for this course.
29 overall including 5 at Higher Level in Chemistry. Applicants with predicted or achieved grades of 34 overall including 16 at Higher Level are not eligible for this course.
GCSE: A minimum of 6 GCSEs grade C or above (or 4 or above) required in Maths, English Language, Biology and Chemistry (or Dual Science/Double Science). Please note that applicants applying with these minimums are unlikely to be shortlisted to interview and that scoring is based on 8 GCSEs.

This course uses a mixture of case-based and enquiry-based learning.
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.
Enquiry-based learning (EBL) starts by posing questions, problems or scenarios. Students will identify and research issues and questions to develop their knowledge. This style is generally used in small-scale investigations and projects, as well as research.
Taken into consideration for pre interview selection.
Applications from applicants resitting exams are only likely to be successful in exceptional circumstances. Well-supported documentary evidence of any extenuating circumstances is required and a rationale for resitting should be provided in the academic reference.
Clinical experience is not required. Work experience is a valuable aide to help a prospective applicant more effectively understand a career in medicine. It is a useful tool to reflect upon but on its own, does not form part of the selection process.
Although personal statements are not formally part of our shortlisting process, we believe these form an essential part of your preparation for interview and it is therefore important that these are a clear and accurate reflection of how your skills and attributes make you an ideal candidate to study medicine.
UCAT. This is used as part of the pre selection criteria for interview.
Multiple Mini Interviews.
This is specifically a widening-participation (WP) route. It is only open to students who who meet WP eligibility criteria.
You must meet two or more of the following criteria:
