Yes, indeed SJ3 is a concern, need to find univ accepting SJ1-3, or even SJ not considered.

Is GCSE still applicable to international student?? Re international application, I thought it only considers UCAT score when inviting interview.

Hi there,

We cannot guarantee an offer just by meeting the requirements, however, applicants who do will have a strong chance of entry on to the programme. As we are a competitive institution, we advise all students to ensure they’ve read and understood our requirements and meet all mandatory subjects.
Full information on our admissions policy can be found here - https://www.gla.ac.uk/undergraduate/entryrequirements/guidance/#

Hi Max,

So glad to see you are considering Cardiff, its a lovely uni and place to be a student. Congratulations on your GSCE's, if you follow this link here, and look under "other essential requirements" you can see the GCSE requirements for various subjects. Alternatively if that doesn't match up I would suggest contacting the admissions team to find out more, which you can do here.
I have heard lots of good things about medicine here! Good luck with your A-Levels.
Hope this helps, and any other questions let me know,

Grace - Cardiff University Student Rep
