Kings College London - 2:2 Grad Entry Medicine

I'm hoping to study GEM medicine and was wondering will Kings accept my BSc (Hons) 2:2?

If not, what universities accept a 2:2 for undergrad degree?
Or, should I take a MSc to bump my 2:2?

Any comments will help.

Hi,

Apart from Nottingham, do you know any other GEM routes that will accept a 2:2??

I've heard St Georges, University of London accepts a 2:2 with a masters (pass).

Yes, several will with a masters. SGUL, Swansea, Warwick, Chester, I think Worcester. Just check out their websites.
Exeter and Plymouth A100 do not look at degrees at all, but there are funding issues for standard entry to think about

Hi,

What about Queen Mary, University of London? Will they accept me with a 2:2, or even with an additional masters MSc??

Hi,

I'm assuming that if I apply to Medicine 5 year course, things such as my GCSE, A-Levels will be taken into account, even if I have a degree, or could they be waived, if I have a masters to boost me etc?

Thanks for the replies & help!1

A100 would mean you had to pay tuition fees.
Med schools vary in how they shortlist but most need a 2:1 as minimum requirement for grads and many have A level requirements,too. They then shortlist using UCAT, GCSEs and/or A levels. They will not waive things if it is in their assessment criteria, which is almost always on their website.
Barts need a 2:1 for A100 and shortlist using degree classification and UCAT

Hey there, so at the moment the only UK universities that you would be eligible for with your current result is Nottingham. However as it has already been mentioned Plymouth and Exeter do not consider any qualifications however in lieu of this they are known to have the highest minimum GAMSAT requirements. Nottingham also require GAMSAT. However the opening date for GAMSAT applications for September 2024 is closed but you could have a look at doing it for March 2025 which is the next testing window. An alternative to broaden your options may be to consider completing a Masters as this will open up more options for you.

Hope this was useful :smile:

Hiya, old thread sorry but I've seen a few comments on here mentioning that Exeter doesn't look at degrees at all for entry to their 5-year medicine degree for graduates. I've had a look on their website though and it says they require a 2:1 honours degree to consider graduate entrants - any idea if the requirements have changed or am I maybe looking in the wrong place? Thank you!

I haven't been through all of the website, so can you link where it says this, please?
They still say
"On the other hand, if you have completed a degree programme or it has been more than two years since you completed your full A levels, you will be considered as a non-direct school leaver. In this instance you will be required to take the Graduate Medical School Admissions Test (GAMSAT) in order to be considered. Your performance in GAMSAT and your English Language qualification will be the only necessary information on your application. Applicants will be given an Exeter score pertaining to their GAMSAT score. Your performance in a prior degree or past secondary school will not be taken into consideration. GAMSAT scores are valid for two years."
