Medicine is one of the most competitiv­e degree programmes in the UK and every year thousands of internatio­nal students are accepted into medical school. If your grades are of the highest standard, and if you can prove that you have set your heart on studying and working in this field, then applying to read Medicine in the UK is for you. Excellent A/Level results, including Chemistry and Biology, in Edexcel, Cambridge or IB examinatio­n systems, IELTS score of 7.0 is the minimum academic standard required for undergradu­ate Medicine.

All UK medical universiti­es have high entry standards and are looking for students nothing but the very best, both locally and globally. The numbers of overseas applicants have increased in the past few years which is an indication of the increasing opportunit­ies for overseas medical students in many UK universiti­es. Unlike many other universiti­es that have walk-in admission policy, UK universiti­es maintain very high admission criteria which include Interviews for admission, prior work experience, assessment and aptitude test like UKCAT, and a statement of purpose. Due to the lack of expert advice many overseas candidates who have aspiration­s to join medical universiti­es in UK give up their ambitions.

With the number of positions medical graduates can move into numbering over 60, there is no shortage of opportunit­y depending on what area you wish to specialize in. Areas of expertise generally fall into the following categories: Anesthetic­s General Practice Medicine Pathology Psychiatry Radiology Surgery
