Method
How to read this table
- Which courses are listed follows the route table in our graduate entry medicine guide; both pages read the same list, so they always show the same 22 courses.
- Admissions test names the test the graduate route selects on, with the course’s own published rule beneath it where there is one. A school’s headline UCAT figure usually belongs to its standard course, so it is not repeated here.
- Degree requirement, places and interview come from the graduate course page. Interview is shown for the 10 courses whose page describes the format for the graduate route itself; places only where the university publishes a graduate-route figure.
- Not published means the school’s record in our catalogue holds no figure or statement for that cell. We leave the gap visible rather than estimate it; check the school’s own admissions page.
- Last checked reports what our verification ledger records for that school: the date its record was checked against the school’s own page, a partial check, or that no check has been completed. Policies change between cycles, so the school’s own page is always the final word.
