    UCAS deadline for Medicine, 18:00 UK time
    Hard deadline
    Details

    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.
