You can find details about entry requirements and the application process on our course page.<br/><br/>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.
