Only go to Cambridge if you prefer A LOT of scientific research and are okay with the competition because other unis will provide more patient interactions and hands on tasks which may be better for medicine

Hi there! (:

first off, well done with your N5's - sounds like it went well!😊

entry requirment wise, if you google the uni & the course, you'll find the entry requirements listed, with some of the english universities if its unclear on scottish requirements it's best just sending the university an email directly - they'll be happy to answer any questions or clarify so that you know for definite what they require (:

generally, its mainly your highers that unis are looking at grades wise, they may have a few n5 requirements (usually english & maths), so long as your meeting these & taking the required higher's/adv (course dependent) your application would be considered!

hope this helps, best of luck with ur highers!! 🤗
