Medical schools in UK

[Hazooba]

Is it okay to apply to medical schools in the UK with only my IGCSE grades and get accepted ?

u should check with what school you are applying to...I dont know if they accept you on the basis of your IGCSE but they might ask you to do a foundation year...or they may ask you to give some general Medical exam like MCAT.

Hi,

UK universities do accept IGCSE results, but in addition, you will also need A level results to get admission in UK medical schools. Most of them require at least straight As in biology, chemistry and physics along with entry tests like BMAT and UKCAT.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

I haven't been in touch with UK for the past six months. But, your preference list will play the key role in where you get selected. It will be hard to get into Oxford and Cambridge. UCL, Imperial, Kings are popular options for International students. The important deciding factors are your entry test scores (BMAT/UKCAT), your interview and offcourse your bank balance. Here's a list of the best UK medical universities;

Just click the university name for more details if needed.

Hope this helps.

The scholarship application procedure for international students is vague though.

Hope this helps a bit.
