Allgemein laufen die Bewerbungen für britische Universitäten über die UCAS (sammelt alle Bewerbungen und leitet sie an die Unis weiter, entscheidet aber m.E. nicht wie die ZVS über die Zulassung).

guckst Du hier: UCAS

Ansonsten gibts auch immer noch Informationen auf den Homepages der jeweiligen Unis. Die Adressen gibt's meines Wissens auch auf o.g. Seite.
Hoffe das hilft Dir weiter...

Hello Sarah!

As mentioned in the previous post, in order to apply to study at any university in the UK you need to apply via UCAS, for which there is a fee of around £15 (not sure if this is different for E.U. applicants) - you can apply via UCAS by paper form, or on-line.

The deadline for ALL applications to Medicine, Dentistry, or Vet. Science in the UK is 15th October.

You may only apply to FOUR medical schools (if you put more than four schools on your UCAS form it'll be returned to you).

Scottish universities do not charge tuition fees in a similar manner to English/Welsh Universities. I believe the fee for UK/EU students both is £1,150 per academic year; Scottish applicants normally pay this fee once they've graduated and have a job, English applicants would pay per-year. I know that at Glasgow University neither Scottish nor EU students (full-time) have personal fee liability, however English, Welsh and Irish students do.

Further, you'll need to have studied Chemistry AND Biology or Physics or Maths as Hauptfächer for your Abitur; and, you'll need to be able to prove your command of the English language (normally: IELTS 6.5; TOEFL 550; Cambridge C). Also the University may call you for interview, to which you'll be expected to attend.

St. Andrews does not interview applicants, but offers only the 1st BM (the pre-medical course) students from St. Andrews normally transfer to Manchester to do their clinicals.

Hey!!

Thanks a lot. I finally found the application form, that was pretty easy!! WEll as you heard i want to start medicine in Scotland but my problem is that i missed the 15th of october. I am not sure but I read that you can turn in your applications until the june. However my applications is treated in a different way!! Do you know anything about it.
Well do you think St, Andrews is a good school ragarding medicine? I only want to study until my " Physikum" that means the first two years and afterwards i want to transfer to a german university. I heard from a friend's sister who is studying at St. Andrews that she has not to pay a fee only the money for living at campus and the meals!! Is that handled in that way at every university ?? Well I attended a boarding school in America for one year, so that won't be a problem.
Where are you studying? And which universities would you recommend me???

Thanks

Hiya Sarah,

The absolute deadline for ALL applicants to medical degrees in the UK is 15th October - for Home as well as EU students - i think the deadline for international students is slightly extended.

Your application as an EU student will be handled in the same way as a UK student.

St. Andrews offers only the pre-clinical course, unlike other Scottish universities where the course is integrated and lasts 5-6yrs. St. Andrews students normally do their clinicals at Manchester or Edinburgh. The course at St. Andrews is more 'traditional' - Oxford and Cambridge are the only other universities that still offer the pre-clinical-then-clinical-type course. If it is your intention to transfer to Germany after your pre-clinical studies, then St. Andrews would probably be your best bet - the degree offered is a BSc in Medical Science.

As for fees and costs - it varies from student to student depending on your family circumstances. I think (though not sure) that your local education authority should contribute to your tuition fees, though i believe this depends on which Bundesland you live in. Keep in mind, however, that since Prince William studied at St. Andrews prices for accomodation have shot up (though this will only be a concern for you if you have to find your own accomodation).

As for me, i'm in my Upper Sixth year of A-levels (Biology, Chemistry, German) and currently hold a conditional offer of ABB to study medicine at Guy's, King's and St. Thomas Medical School!

Good luck with your applications!
