Applying to a British university can be a struggle, especially if you are not from the UK. The process, which is handled through a central admissions body called Ucas, requires you to submit, among other things, a personal statement and a reference letter.

The process may confuse not only you but also your parents. Yet rest assured that with some patience and care you can get through it all successfully, which will leave you feeling like you really can climb any mountains in your way.

The typical Bachelor of Medicine or Bachelor of Surgery degree takes five years to complete, three of these years are focussed specifically on practical work. A medical degree, post-graduate study and specialist training means it could take up to 16 years before you achieve your dream medical job.

Although medicine is one of the most difficult degrees you can commit to, a career in medicine brings many opportunities and experiences. Medicine is a future-proof profession – despite budget cuts, there will never be a time when doctors are not in high demand.

The education system and application process is different from other Anglophone countries, so we’ve collected the information that you’ll need each step of the way.
