International students can combine their UCAS medical school choices with direct applications to selected programmes through Medical Doorway. This gives applicants additional options, subject to each university’s eligibility requirements.
What is Medical Doorway?
Medical Doorway is a British-operated organisation that offers support free of charge to international students applying to UK medical schools. Officially appointed by partner universities, Medical Doorway provides expert assistance with every stage of the application process. From personal statements, interviews and student visa guidance we are here for all our students. Applications are also free of charge.
Featured Universities
Through Medical Doorway, students can apply directly to a growing number of universities, including:
-
Brunel University London – Offers an innovative MBBS programme focused on clinical experience and research-led teaching.
-
University of Hertfordshire – A modern university with a strong emphasis on practical learning and NHS partnerships.
-
St Mary’s University, London – Known for its supportive environment and growing reputation in health sciences, with new routes into clinical education.
- Queen Mary University of London, Malta – Another option for a UK MBBS but studying in the Schengen area in attractive Malta.
Why Does the Eight-Application Route Matter?
These applications sit outside UCAS and do not use one of your four UCAS medicine choices. Admission remains competitive and each university makes its own decision. Before accepting an offer, check the course’s approval status and the registration requirements that apply to you.
