Graduate Entry Medicine at Queen Mary (Barts): 2027 Entry

Queen Mary accepts graduates from any subject, but what else you need depends on your degree. A 2:1 in a listed molecular or biomedical sciences degree needs nothing further. A 2:1 in any other subject needs science A levels as well.

• Predicted or achieved grades count at the first shortlisting, so final-year students can apply.
• Queen Mary cannot review transcripts before you apply; if your degree meets the criteria, it encourages you to apply.
• Graduates with a non-UK degree check its equivalence to a UK 2:1 against Queen Mary's postgraduate requirements for their region.
• If you need extra years or an interruption to reach the minimum academic requirements, the extenuating circumstances panel must approve this before you apply.

The 2026 figure is on the new UCAT scale after Abstract Reasoning was withdrawn in 2025, so it cannot be compared directly with the earlier two. Queen Mary's minimum UCAT threshold (the fourth decile) was 1761 for 2026 entry. It says thresholds for a future year cannot be predicted from past data.

In each of the three years fewer than one in four applicants was interviewed, and 55 or 56 offers were made each year; the statistics page gives the number of places as 39. Queen Mary has not published 2027 thresholds.

• Year 1 (Phase 1): seven campus-based modules, including Digestion, Metabolism and Growth, Infection and Immunity, Human Sciences and Public Health, taught through lectures, anatomy and physiology practicals and team-based learning. Every Thursday is spent in a practice setting or learning clinical skills, with groups of eight working with a GP tutor fortnightly.
• Years 2 and 3 (Phase 2): you join students from Year 2 of the five-year course to form a new Year 3 cohort, rotating through partner trusts on placements of about 6 to 10 weeks.
• Placements: inner-city sites such as the Royal London, Homerton, Newham and Whipps Cross hospitals, and out-firms at Southend, Colchester and Princess Alexandra hospitals, where most students stay in hospital accommodation.
• Year 4 (Phase 3): emergency medicine, intensive care, surgery and anaesthetics, a six-week GP apprenticeship, a six-week self-funded elective and three weeks shadowing a Foundation Year 1 doctor.

On funding, Queen Mary's course page says home students self-fund the first £3,465 of tuition fees in Year 1, and receive a £3,465 bursary from the NHS in later years, with Student Finance England loans covering the balance and living costs. The 2027 home fee had not been published when this page was checked.
