All 3 notes
  • There is no EU rate: everyone pays tuition in euros, and a €1,000 confirmation fee, part of the first year's tuition, holds your place once you qualify.
  • Final-year students apply with predicted grades; the competency test is taken online from home, within set hours on the session weekend you choose.
  • UCAT, BMAT, MCAT or a science degree replace the competency test only for some international applicants: email the admissions office to confirm before you apply that way.
