That’s why we’ve developed a new Gateway Year to Medicine course, designed to enable students from widening participation backgrounds students to develop their skills and scientific knowledge to advance to the MBChB course. You can find details about entry requirements and the application process on our course page. Values-based recruitment is carried out across our vocational programmes. Candidates who apply to more than one vocational course in the School of Medicine will only be considered for one course. Please note that if a candidate demonstrates motivation and insight for another non-School of Medicine vocational course (eg Nursing or Dentistry) they will be rejected without further consideration. Candidates therefore cannot apply to the Gateway to Medicine and Medicine programmes in the same application cycle. Where possible, candidates who apply for multiple programmes within the School of Medicine will be informed that they must choose one course only.

Throughout the course, assessment is designed to build your knowledge and skills, following two broad approaches: Assessment for Learning - an informal evaluation technique to identify areas for specific individual support and inspire personal reflection on your performance – through written and practical exams, coursework and clinical assessments. Assessment for Progression - formal written examinations, projects, case reports and objective structured clinical examinations (OSCEs) - where you are tested in Clinical Anatomy, Clinical Skills and Practice, Knowledge Application, Critical Analysis, Writing and Project Skills, and Attitudes and Professionalism. The MBChB with Honours is awarded to outstanding students.

Health checks

All students will complete a pre-registration screening questionnaire which allows our occupational health team at the University support you to meet your true potential on the programme despite any pre-existing health concerns you may have. It is important that you notify us even if your symptoms are currently under control as we can ensure that you continue to be supported even if you are moving from different areas of the country. The process also allows our occupational health team to check your immunity requirements so we can ensure that both patients and you are protected and kept safe. This will involve understanding your immunisation record to date. Further details can be found on https://medicinehealth.leeds.ac.uk/medicine-undergraduate/doc/occupational-health-requirements-students-applicants-faculty-medicine-health HEOPS offers guidance on occupational health resources and health surveillance.

Interview

The top-ranked applicants are invited for online interview. We expect to invite about 750 candidates to interview. Interviews are through multiple mini interviews, where we further assess applicants’ non-academic qualities. There are currently eight interview stations which applicants progress around. The format of stations varies. At the end of each station the examiners award marks, according to a pre-determined standardised scale. After the completion of all stations we calculate a ranked score.

University Clinical Aptitude Test (UCAT)

We assess your application form against academic criteria, considering your past and predicted grades, and your University Clinical Aptitude Test (UCAT) score. We take into account any issues regarding mitigating circumstances raised in your personal statements and academic reference.
