General requirements

Medicine is a vocational course, one in which the student is trained to become a medical professional. The range of specialty options after qualification is very wide, but nevertheless, making such a career choice, particularly at a young age is a daunting task for many applicants.

Training to be a doctor involves extensive and dedicated study, both as an undergraduate and life-long, after qualification.

It is important to understand that there are Academic Requirements (ie the minimum achievements required in examinations) as well as Non-Academic Requirements for Medicine. In addition, all applicants must take the UK Clinical Aptitude Test (UCAT).
