 Entry requirements

• A minimum 2:1 (upper second class honours) BSc Hons undergraduate degree (or international equivalent) in a Healthcare profession (such as nursing, midwifery, physiotherapy, pharmacy, dentistry).

There are no specific A-level requirements for this programme.

 The UCAT

All applicants are required to sit the University Clinical Aptitude Test (UCAT) prior to applying to this programme. Please note the UCAT must be taken in the same year you apply in order to be valid. Please refer to the UCAT website for details on registration and test dates.

For the most recent admissions cycle, applications were initially ranked using UCAT performance. No minimum UCAT threshold score was applied.

As applications are considered competitively, the level of UCAT performance required for interview may vary from year to year depending on the strength of the applicant cohort. Selection processes are reviewed annually and may be subject to change.

The overall UCAT score is considered as part of the shortlisting process. Individual UCAT subtest scores are not considered separately, and the Situational Judgement Test (SJT) is not taken into account when shortlisting.

Applicants selected for interview are typically invited on a rolling basis from December.

 Non academic requirements

Occupational Health clearance: Required for successful applicants. All offers of a place, and continued enrolment, are made subject to satisfactory Occupational Health clearance.

Enhanced criminal conviction check: Required for successful applicants. All offers of a place, and continued enrolment, are made subject to a satisfactory Disclosure and Barring Service Check.

 Academic achievement

You should carefully check that you will meet the minimum academic standards before making an application. Please note that many applicants meet the minimum requirements and so all applications are considered within a competitive environment.
