Most medical schools require specific A-levels or equivalent qualifications, commonly including Chemistry and often Biology. Requirements vary between universities, so it’s worth researching these early when choosing your GCSE and post-16 subjects.
The medical school application process involves several stages, including taking the UCAT, choosing your medical schools, gaining relevant work experience, completing your UCAS application and preparing for interviews.
In Years 9–10, focus on exploring medicine, researching what being a doctor involves, building strong study habits and, where possible, looking for opportunities to gain work experience.
In Year 11, start looking at medical school entry requirements and the subjects you may need for sixth form or college.
In Year 12, you can explore work experience further, research medical schools and start learning about the UCAT.
Year 13 is when your UCAS application, and interview preparation become the main focus.
Exploring what doctors actually do, speaking to healthcare professionals, attending medicine events and gaining relevant work experience can all help you understand whether the career suits your interests, skills and expectations.
Medicine is a competitive university course, with specific academic and application requirements. However, understanding the process early can help you make informed choices about your subjects, experience and eventual medical school applications.
