Official Thread: (Undergraduate) Medicine 2023 Entry

Hi im in year 11 now and am hopefully going to do medicine in university. I was just wondering loads of things like what alevels do you need, the grades, the best unis. Or even any advice to do with it or how to prepare for example work experience😁

Thank you so much this was so so helpful. Yes for alevels i would like to take biology, chemistry and then either health and social care or psychology. My mum is a mental health nurse and there are loads of volunteering work in her department. Hopefully by the time im doing my alevels covid will be over and i would love to go on a volunteer trip to somewhere like Uganda or Nepal. What type of things does the UCAT test contain do you know?

I think you can choose for your third subject ( it’s better if it’s physics, maths, further maths or psychology )

Not sure this is the case. Only 1 or 2 specific colleges at Cambridge prefer a 3rd A level in a STEM subject. All other universities for Medicine within the UK would happily accept a 3rd A level in Maths, German, English Lit, Sociology, Philosophy etc.

I did mention that you can choose for your third subject, I got told that doing a third stem subject may be more helpful

I’m not GANFYD sorry but this is what it says on their website:

If you have already achieved your A-level grades (and these meet the above requirements) but do not have the required GCSE grades you may still be considered.
To be considered you must have a minimum of grade B (6) in GCSE English Language and Mathematics. Dual Award Science must be offered at minimum BB (66) or the sciences at minimum grade B (6) at GCSE or AS-level.
This is not an automatic right and you should contact the admissions team prior to application to determine your eligibility to apply.
