Bradford University Foundation clinical science/medicine applicants & chat thread

Yes, he is allowed to apply through UCAS but will have to use his college/sixth form to provide a reference. However, if he does have any offers from his UCAS application he will not be allowed to apply for the transfer to Leeds Medical School.

I knew several people who did this last year when I was in the foundation year. Some got offers so did not need to apply for Leeds however, some failed to get any offers and applied for the transfer. My advice would be for your son to keep it quiet that you have a UCAS application going but its definitely a good shot considering the grades.

Hi, we have been told this year by Dr Beedham that the rules around this have changed. From this year onwards you can still apply for the Leeds transfer if you are holding other offers on UCAS.

I've posted this before, but hey ho, I achieved BBC instead of the BBB needed to study clinical sciences (w/o foundation) should I apply for the foundation clinical science course, which requires BCC? Also any advice as to what to cover to prepare for this course, as I have kept my entire notes for bio and chem just in case.

For my personal statement, should I write it for a medicine degree ?

Brilliant. Will definitely apply to the foundation course then!! Thanks for all the help!!

It doesn't say anything on their website about changing the rule about that you can still be eligible for transfer while holding offers .

Must not have been updated yet. We were told this by Dr. Beedham, who is the course director

No, Christine Beedham is the director of the course. Dr. Debbie Quirke is an admissions tutor. It has changed recently about the rules regarding the Leeds transfer and other offers. We only found out a couple of weeks ago ourselves so the change has been very recent.

I'm a little confused. Can you still hold pffers during foundation year?? :/

I'm reading the document I got in my first week and summed up it says "some students transfer to external courses such as medicine. You need to provide a college reference for October 15th typical deadline. If you hold an offer for external course when applications submitted to Leeds please talk to us about it as it may jeopardise both applications and delay student finance" so you can apply but you need to talk to them about it and it may cause problems but you should discuss with personal tutors. A few of my friends have applied externally but I can't tell you what happens till next year I'm afraid. So yeah it is possible but inadvisable basically. Sorry can't be more help.

So basically you may be at a disadvantage if you apply externally but why is the rule about that you can hold offers externally and be considered for Leeds transfer.last year the rule was you can apply but if you held any offers you would have not be considered for transfer.Yes they do want to know you are applying externally and they can't give you reference because they have not known you well.
