Entry Process and Requirements
You will need a minimum of 3 A levels including biology and chemistry at Bs or better. Please contact us for International Baccalaureate, Scottish Higher, Irish Leaving Certificate equivalents. BTECs and Access to HE qualifications are not acceptable.
The university does have entrance exams that are usually held in May and July. The entrance exam focuses on biology, chemistry, maths/physics. We can provide details of the curriculum and sample questions on request.
It is possible to apply without taking the entrance exam if you have a BSc in a scientific subject. Please don’t assume that your degree will automatically give you an exemption. We need to check the curriculum with the university each and every time. We have been successful with UK Biomedical Sciences degrees, however. Please do not confuse this with granting “Graduate Entry” or exemption to any first-year modules. This is absolutely not the case. You are only exempted from the entrance exam.
If you apply using the prior degree route you will still have to wait until after the entrance exam before you can receive an offer because you will be ranked in the same pool as those candidates who take the exam.
