Enrolment

We will start sending enrolment information to students who have accepted their offer and had their place confirmed by meeting the conditions of their offer in mid August, but you should be aware that the first day of medical school, which must be attended, is Monday 17 August 2026. You will receive this via email rather than through King’s Apply, so do make sure we have up-to-date contact information.
