Hull York Medical School Medicine with a Gateway Year
Overview
Joint between the Universities of Hull and York, the Hull York Medical School is one of the UK’s most contemporary medical schools, delivering an innovative and rigorous medical education. You will gain clinical experience from the very start of the programme, with a breadth of placements at a variety of locations.
Interview invites are sent based on a range of criteria, which means that provided you meet the minimum entry criteria your application success in being invited to interview is based on scores for other criteria. Candidates are then ranked based on the points they score for the UCAT, UCAT SJT band, Top 8 GCSE results, and contextual data. This makes Hull York a great choice if you have done well in the UCAT and in your GCSE’s but don’t have top A-level grades, but still reach the minimum entry criteria.
Please note that this program is only open to applicants that meet specific widening participation criteria.
Key Points
