Transfer to Medicine or Dentistry
This option is open to home and international students on any of our undergraduate programmes.
Our transfer scheme
Successful applicants transfer into the first year of the Medicine or Dentistry programmes.
You can apply to transfer from any degree programme in our suite of biomedical and biomolecular programmes in the School of Biomedical, Nutritional, and Sport Sciences.
Students studying on our Sport and Exercise Science and Nutrition and Dietetics programmes are not eligible for the transfer scheme. A lecture timetabled in the December of your first year of study gives you further information regarding the transfer scheme.
Students will be selected on the basis of academic performance in the first year, their UCAT score, a personal statement and, if shortlisted, an interview.
