Pathways To Medicine - The Medic Portal

Undergraduate Medicine

The most common pathway to Medicine is to apply for an undergraduate degree. Competition is fierce with this pathway, and it is becoming more competitive each year. Find out more about the application process in our guide.

Graduate Entry Medicine

If you didn't get a place on an undergraduate course, you may want to complete a degree in a different subject (like Biomedical Science) and then apply for a Graduate Entry Medicine degree. Learn more about the graduate pathway in our guide.

Transfer To Medicine

Some students manage to transfer to a Medicine degree from a different qualifying programme - but this route is incredibly competitive! Discover which Medical Schools allow transfers to Medicine, and see the eligibility criteria.

Study Abroad

As competition in the UK increases, many aspiring medics are considering studying abroad. There are plenty of options for UK and international students who would like to follow a competitive Medicine curriculum and widen their global experience. See your options in our study abroad section.

Foundation Medicine

Foundation courses are an excellent option if you meet the eligibility criteria, e.g. you're from a widening participation background. Some are Medicine degrees with an additional year at the start, while some are standalone courses designed to boost your Medicine application.
