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.
Offers are made on the basis of predicted grades.
We will only accept Level 2 (e.g. GCSE) resits completed within 12 months of the original sitting. These must be completed prior to application. The exception to this is English Language which has no time limit for resit but must be included as achieved or pending on the application form. Only one re-sit permitted per qualification.
We do not accept Level 3 (e.g. A Level) resits. However, it should be noted that we do not consider exams taken after centre assessed grades to be re-sits. Re-sits of A Level module units will be considered provided that the final exam has not already taken place and a grade awarded.
Clinical experience not required. Experience of caring/volunteering/work may be assessed at interview.
You must demonstrate an awareness of the healthcare system in the UK and the nature of the medical training in your personal statement.
You must have taken the UCAT within one year of applying. We don’t have a minimum threshold score; however, we will use UCAT scores in our application assessment procedure in deciding who to invite to interview.
Multiple- mini interviews (MMI).
Bangor University is committed to widening participation in Higher Education (HE) and accepts students from a broad range of backgrounds.
To support students into Higher Education, we use a number of indicators to identify students who may be at a disadvantage in their ability to access Higher Education, in order to provide additional support.
