Explore 2026 medical school entry requirements with new and improved tool

Thinking about applying to medicine? Our updated Entry Requirements Tool for 2026 entry is now live, designed to help you make confident and well-informed decisions about your application.

This year’s tool has been redesigned to be easier to use and now includes more detailed guidance to support all applicants, especially those from underrepresented or disadvantaged backgrounds.

What’s new for 2026?

  • A clearer and more user-friendly layout to help you find key information quickly.

  • New sections on contextual admissions, showing how your background may be taken into account.

  • Details on resits, predicted grades, course teaching methods and more.

The tool lets you compare entry requirements across UK medical schools, helping you explore your options and plan your next steps with confidence.

“This update reflects our commitment in the Fostering Potential report to make medical school admissions more transparent and accessible. By providing clearer and more consistent information, we aim to support all applicants in navigating the process, particularly those who may face additional barriers.”
Clare Owen, Director, Medical Schools Council
