All applicants will be required to provide written permission to intercalate from their medical school and evidence (via transcript) confirming completion of relevant clinical skills and research, to the level normally expected of a fourth year undergraduate medical student. We appreciate some of this evidence may not be available when a student initially applies, however, it will be required to secure a provisional offer if successful through the recruitment process.
TOEFL IBT 76
Minimum Component Scores - Component scores of listening 17, reading 18, speaking 20, writing 18
IELTS 6.0
Minimum Component Scores - 5.5 in all four components (listening, reading, speaking and writing)
