Overview

Medicine and Surgery is offered widely in the UK, so the useful comparison is between departments rather than between countries. It is a three year undergraduate degree, with the specialism widening as you move through the years.

Teaching in Medicine often carries additional entry steps such as an interview, a health check or a criminal record check.

The lowest English requirement we hold on this course is IELTS 6.5, and departments asking more than that usually expect a stronger academic record too.

Send us your transcript and English result and we will list the departments that would consider you, with the entry condition on each.
