HOW TO APPLY FOR THE MBCHB IN MEDICINE

Keele University School of Medicine is committed to graduating excellent clinicians. The admissions process is designed to select students with abilities and characteristics that indicate their potential to become excellent doctors.

ADMISSIONS OVERVIEW 2022

WE ADVISE ALL THOSE CONSIDERING APPLYING TO CHECK THIS WEB SITE REGULARLY FOR UPDATES.

It is the responsibility of applicants to ensure that you meet academic and other requirements before applying. If we discover later on that you do not meet the entry criteria your application will be cancelled, no matter how far through the process it has advanced.

The university primarily communicates with applicants via the email address that you have used on your UCAS application. It is your responsibility to regularly check this email account and ensure that university communications are not diverted to a spam/junk folder.

ADMISSIONS POLICY (PENDING)

Please note the following points regarding applications for 2022 entry:

APTITUDE TESTS

• All home applicants (i.e. applicants with home student fees status) must take the University Clinical Aptitude Test (UCAT)* in the year of application (i.e. in 2021 if applying in October 2021 for 2022 entry) and will also be required to submit a roles & responsibilities (R+R) form. Note: we do not rank applicants on UCAT scores and the single cut-off point will be the same for all applicants, regardless of whether they have taken the test at home or in a test centre. Please also refer to the information regarding the selection process as Keele may additionally use UCAT results in borderline cases when deciding which applicants to invite for interview.

• Applicants with a total UCAT score lower than 2,280 or a situational judgement test (SJT) result in band 4 will not be considered.

• All applicants with international fees status** are required to take the Biomedical Admissions Test (BMAT)*** instead of the UCAT. This will be used instead of the R+R form to select for interview.****

• All graduate applicants who do not meet our A-Level or equivalent requirements must also take the Graduate Australian Medical School Admissions Test (GAMSAT). Taking GAMSAT does not exempt you from the UCAT or BMAT requirements listed above.

* For the latest advice on UCAT
** EU/EEA/Swiss national students starting in 2022 will have international fees status unless meeting other specific criteria. We recommend you visit the UKCISA site for more information. If we are unsure of your fees status you may be required to complete the assessment of a fee before your application can be assessed.
*** Important information about BMAT – September 2021. Due to the ongoing challenges of the global Covid-19 pandemic, BMAT – September will not go ahead in 2021. For details about an alternative test session and all of the latest information, visit the BMAT Covid pages.
**** The funding of UK medicine courses for international students is under review. It is possible that international student tuition fees will increase substantially as part of this review. We advise international applicants to check regularly for updates.

REAPPLICATION

Applications from students who have previously commenced study of medicine, dentistry or veterinary medicine elsewhere will not be considered.

Applications will not be accepted from students currently enrolled on other degree programmes unless you are in the final year of a programme from which you will graduate before the beginning of the next academic year.

If you were due to complete A-Levels or other level-3 qualifications in summer 2021 and had an offer from Keele for medicine but did not meet the entry requirements through your teacher-assessed grades, you may be eligible to reapply as follows.

 • If you had a conditional offer for medicine at Keele for 2021 entry (or deferred offer for 2022 entry) and had made this your firm choice, you may keep this offer open and attempt to meet the academic requirements by sitting exams in autumn 2021 (not summer 2022). You must notify Keele University by 30 September 2021 that you want to use this option.

• If you had a conditional offer for medicine at Keele for 2021 entry (or deferred offer for 2022 entry) and had made this your firm choice but are in the UK devolved administration that does not offer an autumn exam sitting, you may reapply through UCAS for 2022 entry. We will reinstate your 2021 offer for 2022, conditional on meeting the academic requirements in summer 2022 assessments. You will not be required to repeat UCAT or submit a new roles & responsibilities form. You must notify Keele University by 30 September 2021 that you want to use this option.

• If you held a firm offer in 2021 but will not be taking all exams required to meet the conditions in autumn 2021 even though an autumn sitting is available, you may reapply through UCAS for 2022 entry. You must have repeated UCAT in summer 2021 and must submit a new roles & responsibilities form. You will be entering a new competition and there is no guarantee that you will be invited for an interview or made an offer.

• If you did not have an offer from Keele for medicine in 2021 – or if you had an offer but declined it or withdrew your application – and wish to apply in October 2021 for 2022 entry (or deferred entry in 2023) you must either (a) have already achieved the required grades in your A-Levels or equivalent level-3 qualifications or (b) be enrolled to sit exams in autumn 2021 to meet these requirements. If you apply on a later basis and fail to meet the requirements in the autumn exams, your application will be cancelled. Results of summer 2022 assessments will not be considered for these applications. You must have repeated UCAT in summer 2021 and must submit a new roles & responsibilities form. You will be entering a new competition and there is no guarantee that you will be invited for an interview or made an offer. These conditions also apply to applicants who were on the reserve list for 2021 entry but did not receive an offer.

• It is your responsibility to arrange to complete the assessments at the earliest available opportunity. Keele cannot mediate in any disputes between you and your exam centre about the availability of exams in particular sittings.

If you do not already meet the academic requirements on the basis of grades achieved in summer 2021 (or earlier) and are not enrolled for autumn 2021 exams, you may not apply in October 2021 unless you meet the criteria in the second bullet point above. You must complete assessments in summer 2022 and then apply in October 2022 with achieved grades.

Admissions essentials

The MBChB programme at Keele University School of Medicine is committed to graduating excellent clinicians. The admissions process is designed to select students with abilities and characteristics that indicate their potential to become excellent doctors. You should familiarise yourself with the principles of the NHS Constitution and the General Medical Council (GMC)’s Duties of a Doctor. Applicants who cannot demonstrate commitment to the values encompassed within the NHS Constitution will not succeed in gaining a place.

Studying for the Keele MBChB will require you to demonstrate and develop the professional attitudes required for a future career in clinical practice as defined by the GMC. You are required to treat your fellow students, academic and non-academic staff and the general public in a professional manner throughout the course of your studies. You will also need discipline to organise and self-direct your studies in keeping with our philosophy that learning is student-led.

You must be aware that your behaviour outside the clinical environment, including in your personal life, may have an impact on your fitness to practise. Your behaviour at all times must justify the trust the public places in the medical profession.

All home applicants applying for A100 or A104 will be required to submit a roles & responsibilities (R+R) form shortly after the deadline for submission of UCAS applications. If you do not submit this form by the deadline your application will not be considered further. For more details see the roles & responsibilities section. Failure to meet any other deadlines for submission of documents during the selection process, or failure to respond to requests for additional information, may result in your application being cancelled.

APPLICATION ROUTES

All applications must be submitted via the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS). We do not accept direct applications. The deadline for submissions is expected to be 15th October 2021 for entry in September 2022 or deferred entry in September 2023. Owing to the impact of the Covid19 pandemic, this deadline may be subject to change. However, we will not accept applications after the UCAS deadline.

We reserve the right to reject applications that are either incomplete or completed incorrectly. You are required to declare all qualifications that have been completed – including those that were failed or achieved at low grades – in your UCAS application. It is your responsibility to provide correct details of all qualifications. If you miss out a qualification that is required for entry to the course, we will assume that you did not take it/are not taking it and will reject your application. If you declare incorrect details (e.g. grades, dates) that do not match your certificates, we will cancel your application and report the false declaration to UCAS.

UCAS operates a similarity detection service for personal statements. If we see evidence that parts of your personal statement have been copied, shared with other applicants or provided by a third party we shall withdraw your application. We have no way of identifying whether someone else has copied your statement without your knowledge, so please be very careful who you show your personal statement to.

There are two programmes at Keele leading to the award of the MBChB degree. Your application should include the institution code for Keele University (K12) plus the appropriate course code:
