Entry requirements for 2025 start

A degree in applied or experimental science with a degree class of 2.1 or above (or a GPA above 3.5). Graduates in subjects other than bioscience must also have biology or dual-award science at GCSE or O-level, or an equivalent qualification.

See: www.medsci.ox.ac.uk/study/medicine/graduate-entry-medicine/about-the-course/how-to-apply/qualifying-degrees-for-the-graduate-entry-medical-course

A-levels: applicants must have Chemistry (normally passed at A or A* if taken within last 5 years). Applicants with a degree in Chemistry or Biochemistry (2.1 or above) are exempt from this requirement. Applicants must also have one from Biology, Physics or Mathematics at A-level.

Scottish qualifications: AAB with an A in Scottish Advanced Higher Chemistry if taken within last 5 years. Applicants with a degree in Chemistry or Biochemistry (2.1 or above) are exempt from this requirement.
Applicants must also have one from Biology, Physics or Mathematics at Scottish Advanced Higher Level.

Graduates in subjects other than bioscience must also have biology or dual-award science at GCSE or O-level, or an equivalent qualification.

Applicants must have an overall score of 36 (including core points) and scores of 6 in subjects taken at Higher Level. Applicants are required to offer the following subjects at Higher Level:

i) Chemistry (unless applicants have a degree in Chemistry or Biochemistry with a 2.1 or above)
ii) At least one from Biology, Physics or Mathematics.

Applicants may apply in the final year of their degree and must be predicted/achieved at least an upper second class honours degree (or equivalent) in any subject. Degrees are divided into three categories.

• Bioscience degrees which contain sufficient Biology and Chemistry – no further A or AS level requirements.

• For science degrees which lack Biology or Chemistry, candidates must have a minimum A or AS level grade C for Biology and/or Chemistry (depending on what is missing in the degree).

• For non-science degrees, candidates must have a minimum B grade in A or AS level Chemistry or Biology, plus one other science also at grade B. Accepted science subjects are Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Maths, and Psychology. You may apply with achieved or predicted grades.

Degrees must be completed in the natural length intended for the qualification (generally three years for Bachelors and four years for integrated Masters).

A Levels or acceptable equivalent - BB in Chemistry and Biology required for those applicants not offering a Molecular or Biomedical Sciences degree.

 Not scored.

37 points overall and three Higher Level subjects at 666 including Chemistry or Biology plus one further science subject from (Chemistry, Biology, Physics or Maths) for those applicants not offering a Molecular or Biomedical Sciences degree.

2:1 in a Life Sciences Degree plus BBB at A Level which must include Chemistry or Biology.

This course is an alternative route into medicine for life science graduates from backgrounds that are underrepresented in higher education. 

BBB at A level, one of which must be Chemistry or Biology, taken in one sitting. Further Maths, Critical Thinking and General Studies are not accepted.

AAAAB in Scottish Highers and BB in Advanced Level, including Chemistry or Biology. Resits are accepted (single resit per A level or Scottish Higher/ Advanced Higher) and all resits should be taken in the same sitting.

Where a graduate applicant has BBB or better at A level but the pre-degree A levels do not include Chemistry or Biology, we will consider the application if the candidate has taken A level Chemistry or Biology after their Bachelor's degree and achieved (or is predicted to achieve) a grade B or higher.

This course is an alternative route into medicine for life science graduates from backgrounds that are underrepresented in higher education.

32 points overall with 5's in Higher Level subjects (to include Chemistry or Biology) and no less than 4 in each of the Standard Level subjects.

This course is an alternative route into medicine for life science graduates from backgrounds that are underrepresented in higher education. 

Graduate applicants (for BM4 and BM5) are required to achieve an Upper Second-Class Honours (2.1) in their first degree, this must be equivalent to a UK honours degree. The degree can be in any subject and no preference will be given based on the subject taken.

Please note we do not have any A Level or equivalent requirements for graduate applicants (for BM4 and BM5).

Graduate applicants (for BM4 and BM5) must hold 4 GCSEs at grade C/4 or above, including English language, mathematics and either biology and chemistry, combined science, or science and additional science.

Please note we do not have any A Level or equivalent requirements for graduate applicants (for BM4 and BM5).

Must have achieved (or be predicted to achieve) a 1st or a 2.1 Honours degree, or equivalent. Honours degrees in Arts, Science and other disciplines will be accepted.

In addition, applicants must have achieved (or be predicted to achieve) the following academic requirements over and above the Honours degree:

Chemistry Higher or A-Level (grade A or B) or equivalent Mathematics at Standard Grade (Credit 1 or 2), Intermediate 2 (grade A or B), National 5 (grade A or B), or GCSE (grade B), or equivalent.

Chemistry Higher or A-Level (grade A or B) or equivalent Mathematics at Standard Grade (Credit 1 or 2), Intermediate 2 (grade A or B), National 5 (grade A or B), or GCSE (grade B), or equivalent.
