Entry requirements
For international students
For entry onto our foundation year programme, we require the following:
At least 48-72 UCAS points at A2 level or equivalent.
A background in science, maths or sport are an advantage, but not essential. If students have been out of education for > 5 years or do not have a science, maths or sport background, they must submit a personal statement to the programme team, even if they have the required UCAS points.
Applicants may enter the programme at various levels with Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) or Recognition of Prior Experiential learning (RPEL) in accordance with the University General Regulations.
Occupational Health Clearance
All applicants successful in being offered a place on the programme will be subject to a satisfactory occupational health clearance, due to the nature of clinical work and potential placements in the NHS or another healthcare setting. This also includes a requirement for relevant immunisations prior to securing a place. This is carried out between an occupational health provider through a service level agreement between the University and provider.
It may be beneficial, and it is recommended, that students hold a full UK driving licence and have the use of a car, as this will maximise practice placement opportunities throughout the duration of the course.
