Please note that we have no preference for whether the third or fourth A-level subject (or further subject in equivalent qualifications) is a science or not. We expect you to have taken and passed any practical component in your chosen science subjects. There are no formal GCSE requirements for Medicine. However, in order to be adequately equipped for the BMAT (see www.bmat.org.uk) and for the academic demands of the course, and if Biology, Physics or Mathematics have not been taken to A-level (or equivalent), applicants will need to have received a basic education in those subjects (for example at least a grade C/4 at GCSE, Intermediate 2 or Standard grade (Credit) or equivalent; the GCSE Dual Award Combined Sciences is also appropriate). Students with degrees may apply for the standard course. There are no places specifically reserved for graduates, and there is no separate application process. Graduates are in open competition with school-leavers, and need to fulfil the same entrance requirements. See www.medsci.ox.ac.uk/study/medicine for further information and details of eligibility. A range of other international qualifications is also acceptable for entry. Please see ox.ac.uk/intquals for further information.
