    UCAS deadline for Medicine, Dentistry and Veterinary Medicine
    Hard deadline
    Details

    Thirteen months before the course starts. UCAS says it is unusual for these universities to consider a late application. Admissions tests for these courses register earlier still, and the registration deadline is not the test date.

    UCAS’s deadline for these courses, three months before everyone else’s. UCAS says it is unusual for these universities to consider a late application, so treat 18:00 UK time on 15 October as the end. Admissions test registration closes even earlier.

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