Entry Methods
The applicant must present a Secondary school certificate. Passes equivalent to the British GCE 'A' level are normally required in three subjects:
- Chemistry
- Physics
- Biology
Chemistry at advanced level is compulsory but it is possible to achieve a place on the course if a student has, for example, studied Mathematics instead of one of the other two.
Applicants who lack these qualifications can only be considered if their admission exam, curriculum vitae and interview demonstrates a satisfactory knowledge. - Full details
The Entry Examination
The entry examination is held twice a year - June and late August/early September - at the C.M.U.C.A.S. centre at The Abbey College. Professors and Vice-Deans from each department fly to the UK solely for these examinations and interviews.
Prior to the examination in late August/early September the C.M.U.C.A.S. holds a two week intensive revision course at The Abbey, which has enjoyed a 100% success rate. Please see the C.M.U.C.A.S. Student Guide for details.
Students who fail in the June examinations may resit the examination in August, but are not allowed to apply for the same faculty. These exams are administered and marked the same day by the visiting professors from each faculty. - Full details
