St Georges Biomedical Science Transfer To Medicine

It is possible to transfer from Biomedical Science or a similar degree to Medicine, without having to graduate and then apply for a Graduate Entry Medicine place.

Transferring to Medicine after your first year of study is very competitive – but it can be done. It used to be more common for Biomedical Science students to do this, but there are transfer schemes for a slight variation of degrees now.

Formal Medicine Transfer Schemes

10 universities have a formal scheme that allows you to transfer to Medicine after one year of study.

Anglia Ruskin University

Anglia Ruskin University offers a transfer scheme for students who complete the first year of the BSc Medical Science or BSc Biomedical Science course to an exceptionally high standard. This is a highly competitive route and there is no guarantee of a place on the MBChB Medicine course due to limited availability of places.

Applicants for this competitive option are required to apply through UCAS. You must have:

• a minimum average mark of 75% across the first year of your degree course
• no less than 65% for any individual module (achieved by 1st September of the year of entry)
• evidence of a current UCAT score

University of Bradford

The University of Bradford has a widening participation scheme that helps students transfer to Medicine at the School of Medicine at the University of Leeds. There are 20 places for widening participation students that have completed the Foundation Year or Year 1 of the Clinical Sciences course at the University of Bradford.

In order to be transferred, these students must meet strict academic criteria – but the academic section is based on performance in the Foundation year, not on A-Levels and GCSEs. Students are then ranked and shortlisted for an MMI interview.

Most University of Bradford Foundation students continue into Year 1 of Clinical Sciences BSc (Hons), which is accredited by the General Medical Council as the equivalent of studying Year 1 Medicine. Because of this, Leeds Medical School offers another 20 places in Year 2 Medicine for first-year students to transfer into, but the selection is still based on academic criteria.

Widening participation students from the University of Bradford can also apply to study Medicine at the University of Sheffield once they’ve completed the Foundation Year. Some students have also successfully transferred to Hull York Medical School and Brighton And Sussex Medical School after the Foundation Year.

University of Brighton

It’s possible to apply to transfer to Medicine from the University of Brighton after your first year on the following courses:

• Biological Sciences BSc (Hons)
• Biomedical Science BSc (Hons)
• Pharmacy MPharm

In order to transfer after the first year of study, students must exhibit excellent term 1 class attendance record and a 70% average for term 1 modules.

You can also apply after you graduate from those courses – but you must attain at least a 2:1 and a 70% average for year 2 modules.

Those on these courses who fulfil the Medicine entry requirements will be eligible for the Guaranteed Interview Scheme for The Brighton and Sussex Medical School’s Medicine course.
