Hi there,
I've just had a quick look on UCAS and it doesn't look like anywhere offers an undergraduate degree in Medical Anthropology BUT a few places offer it as a Masters! I know postgrad probably seems like a long time away, but I will just put the links to them below.
Uni of Oxford
MSc in Medical Anthropology | University of Oxford
Entry - 1st class degree or strong 2:1 (65% minimum) in ANY discipline
Uni of Edinburgh
Medical Anthropology
Entry - 2:1 (no specific course subject mentioned)
Brunel University London
Medical Anthropology MSc | Brunel University of London
Entry - 2:2 degree in a Humanities, Social Science or Health-related Science degree
Durham University
Medical Anthropology L6K507 - Durham University
Entry - 2:1 in a 'relevant subject'
UCL
Medical Anthropology MSc | Prospective Students Graduate - UCL – University College London
Entry - 2:1 in a relevant discipline
As for undergrad, if you want to go into Medical Anth, I would advise you to consider taking an undergrad degree in Anthropology / Biological Anthropology! There are a LOT more course choices, and also not all of them will require any science A-level, and some would only require a social science (which sociology would usually class as!)
Hope this helps and good luck!
