Try doing some research into the different courses, different kinds of uni and decide what suits you. Then come back and ask less general questions.

3 A's might just get you into Thames Valley...I hear it's good there for medicine :rolleyes:

Seriously though, go to the medicine thread...you'll be able to get familiar with the application process and learn of some of the popular universities.

Check out UCAS?

Well the obvious one seems to be Medicine, otherwise maybe Biomedical Science, Medicinal Chemistry, Medical Science... although I don't like those courses for how broad they are :rolleyes: (edit: I'm not on about Medicine Med's my second favourite!)

I thought I wanted a medical-science related degree and had applied for: Natural Science, Neuroscience, Pharmacology, Pathobiology and Medical Sciences :biggrin: yeh do NOT whatever you do apply to that many courses! But anyow the above are good suggestions for Medical-related stuff :smile:

While Trev is good at C&Ping, note that some courses on there are graduates only, which you won't be able to do. But you know which unis there are, so check out their websites!

True. :redface: I should have deleted and check before I post.

5.3.R.J.1.l - ignore the courses where it says 'graduate entry'.

You're welcome. I remember there is a list of uni's offering medicine in the medicine forum (http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/t88300.html). In addition, it details the entrance requirements too.

If you are interested MBChB and MBBS means the same thing (i.e. bachelor of medicine and surgery). MBChB is offered by non London universities, while MBBS usually is offered by London universities.
