About This Course

Most medical schools in the UK require successful completion of A Levels or the International Baccalaureate (IB), with top grades in Biology, Chemistry and either Maths or Physics. Overseas students also have to demonstrate an English proficiency equivalent to IELTS 7.0 (7.0 in each skill).

The Foundation Certificate (Medicine) provides an alternative route to medicine for international students. It is accepted for entry to a medical degree at The University Of Brighton, subject to grades and other conditions. Please note this international programme does not accept UK students.

Important: Progression to a medical degree is not guaranteed. Successful progression is subject to a competitive entrance interview and you may have to pass an admissions test (e.g. UKCAT or BMAT). It is also very important to demonstrate your interest and commitment through work experience and voluntary work in the health sector. Students who are unable to progress to medicine may be offered an alternative, for example Biomedical Science.

Academic Completion of high school with a minimum grade average of A or 90%. For students who studied the UK curriculum, AS Level (AAA), including Biology and Chemistry. IGCSE not accepted for this course.
