Official: University of Sheffield A101 (Graduate) 2025 Entry Applicants

Hi there I am deciding between University of Sheffield and Queen's University of Belfast for Bsc in Biomedical Science with Placement.
For students who did foundation at UoS, what were the percent which managed to attain the progression target needed to continue to study Bsc Biomed in Sheffield? On average, what percentage of student are able to secure an internship during the placement year? I really prioritize employability as tuition fees for international students are high and I feel worried about the lack of IBMS accreditation for UoS bio med compared to QuB which has the ibms accreditation since employers really look for that and generally are unwilling to sponsor international student visa so now I'm even more unlikely to land any decent job. However, UoS has consistently known to be rated highest for student satisfaction and the facilities provided look amazing compared to the limited information I can find online about the facilities and student life etc... of QuB. In addition, I had also heard that teaching quality in QuB is suffering since lecturers there are more research rather than teaching oriented tho I'm not sure if that is accurate towards my degree. I am quite in a dilemma as UoS had initially been my top choice but the lack of accreditation is a stab to the heart. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!!

Offer received today at 08:02 through email from Sheffield. I am yet to hear from UCAS. Best of luck to everyone waiting! 🙂

No I won't be, I have a competing offer for elsewhere. Once I get the decision from another choice I firm it then so likely in the coming weeks.

Hello - Offer holder here for 2026 entry. I have a question relating to finances that may also be on other GEM student's minds, given the widening participation entry requirements.
On the GEM course webpage for 2025 entry, it says "BChB Graduate Entry Medicine (A101) students are normally expected to pay £3,715 towards their tuition fees themselves in their first year. However, in 2025/26, thanks to the support of our alumni donors' generosity, this £3,715 will be covered by their giving to support your studies". Does anyone know if this is guaranteed for 2026 entry also? Thanks in advance!
