Admission requirements
Applications will be considered from candidates already possessing the qualifications prescribed for entrance, and from those who expect, through examinations taken before the degree course commences, to satisfy the entrance requirements.Candidates will be required to have satisfied both the College general entrance requirements and the course requirements prescribed for admission to their chosen degree course, normally through passes in a recognised General Certificate of Education examination. Students entering the School of Medicine must have reached the age of 18 by 1 October in the year of entry. This is due to the pattern of delivery which requires compliance with patient contact regulations in the first term.
The minimum general entrance requirements prescribed by the College are passes in a recognised General Certificate of Education examination either in:
- two subjects at A level, or
- in one subject at A level and two subjects at AS level, or
- in four subjects at AS level.
