Damn, Fluffy, you made my heart stop beating for just one moment there! :eek:

On the instruction on how to complete the Oxford application form there is no such thing as "Medicine" - however, you may choose between "Physiological Sciences B100" and "Physiological Sciences (Medicine) A100". Surely, there is a difference. :smile:

P.s. From http://www.admissions.ox.ac.uk/courses/medi.shtml: "UCAS codes: Standard course: A100 BMBCh; Accelerated course: A101 (Graduate entry only) BMBCh4 ".


No - you made my heart stop! Pre-clin medics were studying for a Biomed BA when I graduated from Oxford. I would have hated for you to have put the wrong course down, thinking that you were applying for medicine.

Physiological sciences (B100) is a 3 year BA. You are not a medical doctor at the end of it. A100 is the standard medicine course. If you've applied for A100 then breath easy, just don;t give peeps a heart attack by saying Physiological Sciences!!!

According to the Oxford Medicine prospectus, the course title is simply BMBCh, there's no mention of "Physiological Sciences (Medicine)"

I am planning on applying to Oxbridge next year (I'm doing ASs at the moment), but I have no idea which subject to choose. I did my GCSEs last year (see sig) and I'm doing French, Latin, Greek, History and English (and am carrying them all on to A2). I have spoken to my subject teachers and each one says that if I wanted to apply to read their subject then I would be in with a chance. Does ANYONE have any advice at all on what I should do? Thanks!


do whatever looks interesting to you. i just started an english course at le ford, which is fun but also kinda hard when it comes to time-management... (i am currently avoiding doing an essay that is due in tomorrow :smile: ). so yeh, go to open days and stuff and ask people who are doing the courses what they think of them. and read prospectuses. those things are useful.
