Dermatology entry

I was wondering if anyone knew how I could get into uni to do dermatology through college or an apprenticeship?
Isn't dermatology a post grad thing?

In the UK, dermatology is a medical specialty i.e. you specialise in it only after you have done a medical degree at medical school and become a doctor. You could look into aesthetic work and giving facials at spas etc. which don't require you to be a doctor, but you would not be a dermatologist in these cases

You can't study dermatology at university as an undergraduate degree. It is a medical specialty so you have to qualify as a doctor first.
