Foundation Year in Medicine - Leeds Transfer from University of Bradford

Original post by I_A_786

Hi again, I was just wondering that the website stated that you need references when applying to Leeds. Where do you get these references from. Also it states that you need to make a completely new personal statement. Can you still use the same work experience on your new personal statement or do you need to get more?

Thank you :smile:

Hello

Our Clinical Sciences BSc academic staff will provide the references you need for the transfer to Leeds.
You can apply to Leeds with the work experience you used to get into Foundation in Clinical Sciences / Medicine but, please note the competition for places in medical school is very high.

Therefore any added work experience may boost your chances at application and interview stage.

Cheers
Joe

Hello all

I just thought I'd let you know there is an official thread about this course in the University of Bradford Forum where you can find out more information and chat to others interested in this years intake and beyond.

Hello

Our Modules for the Foundation year route to Biomedical Science and the Foundation in Clinical Science/Medicine are different. If you want a comparison, please let me know. :cyber:

Hull York, Brighton and Sussex and Lancaster also accept this foundation year. Please feel free to dm me, I was successful in gaining a place for 2019 entry at the University of Leeds!

There is some overlap but I would say that the Biomedical Sciences course is much more rigorous and academically challenging due to 9 am - 6pm days from the onset

Please be aware that 2019 is the last year that students who apply from the Foundation Year will be able to apply for guaranteed, ring fenced places at Leeds (20 in Foundation and 20 in First Year). From 2020, all students in the Foundation Year will have to apply through UCAS to Leeds, Sheffield, Brighton and Sussex, Lancaster and Hull York during the foundation year.

If this is your last chance to apply for medicine I would take it. I chickened out and now im studying abroad which is costing me way too much money. One of my biggest regrets is not accepting my offer for this course. Don't get disheartened by the apparently low transfer rates.

so im about to start clinical sciences in Bradford this September with the intention of hoping to be transferred to medicine.
I am aware that you can apply to Leeds and sheffield once your test result of 70% is confirmed. however for Sheffield entry would I have to do the UkCAT again, or will my 2019 ukcat be accepted?
also my A levels were really bad: I got ACC, and I was wondering if this would disadvantage me when deciding for interview?
thank you!

Hey @Zahra098 :smile:

I'm glad to hear you'll be joining Team Bradford this September :biggrin:

In regards to your enquiry, you would need to contact the Sheffield Admissions' team, and they would advise you on whether you need to do a new UKCAT or if 2019 is accepted. For the Foundation Year in Clinical Sciences/Medicine we require 104 UCAS points so your grades should not be an issue. You can process an application if you are interested in 2019 entry.

Hope this helps, thanks :smile:

hello,

I am aware you are currently able to transfer to medicine and pharmacy, I was wondering if people can transfer to dentistry from this year foundation year programme and if so, what dental schools?

Hi there,

Yes! This course offers you many opportunities to progress on to other healthcare courses. Our graduates from this course have progressed to postgraduate study, leading to careers in medicine, the healthcare sciences and other healthcare roles such as Dentists.

Students are able to apply to other Dental schools whilst they are enrolled onto the foundation year, but it would best to confirm beforehand with the Dental schools you are interested in progressing onto, whether or not they would accept this foundation year as a route onto their programme.

I hope this helps!
