Off top of my head, Cambridge only accept graduate entry medicine at one of the mature colleges as an affiliate student at.
Maybe you want to contact them (admission office of the colleges) and ask about their requirement?

Or you can post your question in @Lucy Cavendish Admissions thread; one in this forum and the other in university of Cambridge forum. (Both stickies)
Theyre one of their mature colleges and only for female but I'm sure she give you info & advice.

What were your A-levels and your degree course.

And as per Vincrows, check with the LucyCav tutor. She's very helpful.

Yes, just noticed.
So 'a first' is what you're hoping to achieve in the course you haven't yet started, then, not what you already have?
Best of luck. :wink:

I appreciate that this question is probably the most asked question on tsr, but please take my case individually and give me some advice. I'm not here to brag about my results, I just want a fair judgement from others who may know more than me. I'd really love too to Oxford to study physics. I got 7A*s 3As and a B plus an A in the FSMQ additional maths (highest grade possible is an A). Now I'd like to know whether these grades are below average, average or above average for firstly an Oxbridge applicant and secondly an Oxbridge physics applicant, and would the B hinder my application? Thanks a lot in advance

Your GCSEs are good enough, I only had 4A*s, 3As and 4Bs and managed to get in

the maths is pretty hard, probably some of the harder side of C3 and C4, and some elements to further maths modules, and C1/C2 knowledge

the physics part is generally easy, but some content you might not recognise
