Entry requirements
What you need to apply to Warwick (GEM)
A-Level requirements
Graduate entry only - minimum 2:1 honours degree. Warwick runs no undergraduate (A100) route.
GCSE requirements
No specific GCSE requirements published for graduate-entry - applicant academic competence shown through degree
Graduate-entry degree requirement
2:1 (Upper-second-class Honours) or above in any honours degree (Arts, Science, etc.) - completed by entry
Alternative qualifications
Graduate-entry only (4-year accelerated MBChB). UCAT used to rank applicants. CRITICAL: Verbal Reasoning must be at-or-above the cohort mean regardless of overall score; high overall UCAT will not be considered if VR is below mean. Selection-centre format (2 hours of timed exercises) means UCAT is one factor among several - group performance and individual stations matter.

Tutor insight
Group exercises matter - assessors are watching how you contribute, listen and help structure the session, not just what you say. Time management across the day matters too: pace yourself across multiple exercises rather than peaking once.
