University of Manchester Medicine (A106) 2021 entry

Hey everyone,

I thought I'd set this up for all those of you considering applying to Manchester this year. I know there's a lot of uncertainty with the current Covid-19 so I'm here to help in anyway I can.

We can discuss the application process requirements and also parts of the Manchester course. Remember Manchester is PBL/Integrated so they do a lot of small group teaching which is supplemented with lectures and early clinical experience. You have weekly PBL sessions, Anatomy (dissection), and communication sessions. If you're interested, here's what a week in your first year will look like.

I've just finished my 3rd year of Medicine at Manchester (will be in my next year by the time you all apply) and love helping out aspiring medics so if any of you have any questions about the uni, the course structure or want and tips regarding your application, feel free to just ask!

Where have you tried looking for this information?
A med school's website is always a good place to start

Manchester says on their website if you apply with achieved grades, your GCSEs won’t have much of an emphasis placed. I.e you could still be considered despite not having 7 As/7s

Is anyone aware say theoretically I apply with
A levels - AAA (achieved)
GCSEs 88777666BB (meet minimum requirements in English and maths)
Ucat - 700-750 band 1/2 (due to my mocks and my score last year this seems like how I’ll end up doing)
Woke experience + volunteering too
Would I stand a chance?

The website has to say the following regarding this:
"This is not an automatic right and you should contact the admissions team prior to application to determine your eligibility to apply."
So I would have thought that is what you need to do......?

Ohhh ok so by late august I should email and enquire, I know Leicester gives a guarantee on their site for this circumstance but it seems Manchester is more ambiguous

Heyy!
I got 2530 in my UCAT a week ago with SJT Band 1.
Do you think I should risk applying to Manchester as I believe I make a strong candidate for the holistic assessment and the R+R Form?
These are my stats:
GCSEs- 999998888
A-Level target grades- A*A*A*A* (bio+chem+maths+phys)
UCAT- 2530 (632.5 avg) with Band 1 SJT
I have 1 week work experience at a hospital and I do volunteering at a hospital too.

Any help would be great :smile:

Thanks a lot!

Hey, hope someone can help!

I’m about confused for undergraduate application at Manchester.
Is it a requirement to have 4 AS/A level or does it just give you an advantage?

Also they said you can replace the fourth AS with another qualification, I have done a sports leadership course which counts as an extra qualification but did it out of school so where would I put that on my UCAS form so they know I have that extra qualification?

Thanks in advance!!

If your A levels are in the range and your UCAT is in the top 30% you will very likely get an interview. After you send in the UCAS form, Manchester send out an NAI form which is basically a more in depth personal statement so for the sports leadership activities; you mention you could include that there.

Don't know about your other AS level question - sorry

Somebody clarified this with Manchester last year, and they said that if you were applying via the UCAT route three standard A-levels is fine, despite this not being what it says on their website

I really want to go to manchester but I got an average/low UCAT score:VR: 650DM: 630QR: 690AR: 560total: 2530SJ band 1 Would I be considered for an interview do you think? I am elligible for a contextual offer, which includes a reduction in UCAT score, but I am worried because the minimum was 2460 in 2018/19, but previous years it was higher than what I got :frown:
