What is the UCAS medicine application?
Anyone applying to study medicine in the United Kingdom must do so via UCAS.
UCAS (Universities and Colleges Admissions Service) is the centralised body that manages all higher education applications in the UK.

This guide features all the information you need - from how many universities you can apply to in the UK to what you can expect in terms of costs.
We expect dates to be the same next year in 2024 for 2025 entry.
