    Deadline for Medicine, Dentistry and Veterinary courses, 18:00 UK time
    Hard deadline
    Details

    The 13th for 2027 entry, where 2026 entry used the 14th. The date moves between cycles, so a figure remembered from a sibling’s year is worth re-checking.

    Every application that arrives by this time must be given equal consideration. Applications after it are only looked at if places remain.
