Graduate Entry Medicine

Hi, I wanted to ask about Graduate Entry Medicine
In the UK, are there any universities that don't require admission tests for graduates, applying for both graduate and undergraduate medicine
Also, in terms of going to Europe for graduate medicine, are there any universities that'll do a 4year course

Many thanks

I think all uk med schools have an admissions exam

Yes to second what has been said above all UK medical schools will have an entrance exam for GEM courses which is either the UCAT or GAMSAT. In terms of 4 year courses in Europe the question is where would you like to work on completing your MD? If it is the UK then the GMC do not accept the 4 year courses in Europe becuase they are seen as transfer of credits and therefore you would have to complete the 6 year MD if you would like to study Medicine in Europe and then come back to the UK after to work. However I think if you are planning on working in Europe it may be fine but I would double check the latter as I am not too sure
