Only Buckingham starts in January, but its a private university and over £30k a year.
But Medicine is a really rewarding career and you'll be earning double that within 5 years, so I recommend going for Buckhingham OP.

Have you been living in a cave that last few months? Doctors in the UK earn peanuts compared to other countries - those minted doctors? Yeah they are consultants with over 20 years experience. After 5 years they earn less than a tube driver (spoiler alert: also much less than 60k).

Here you go, the pay scale, note the number at the start is years experience:
http://bma.org.uk/support-at-work/pay-fees-allowances/pay-scales/juniors-pay-england

So yes that means 9 years after graduating med school doctors still don't even break 50k. Yet they work all the hours under the sun to save peoples lives.

Our doctors are talking about strike action due to the crap hours, the comparatively low wages and with the threat of an impending pay cut.

Lets hope you never need more than calpol, because I'm pretty sure if you get mangled by a car its doctors that perform the surgery that saves your life!

To be fair your manner of speech isn't far from a shockingly large amount of my BLS group. I always hoped that they failed and didn't make it...
