This form is for applicants applying to the A100 programme for 2026 (or deferred) entry. Please note that there are no international deferred places available.

Please read through each section carefully to ensure you have provided us with all the information required.

For 2026 entry, the following groups of applicants are advised to complete the applicant online form:

  • Re-sit Applicant: A re-sit applicant is usually defined as one having taken a minimum of three years to complete A-levels and would include applicants who have repeated year 12.
  • Subject Change Applicant: Students who have taken three years to complete A-levels as a result of changing their subject choices OR have withdrawn from a Higher Education programme having failed to complete a non-medical degree course or other programme.
  • If you have extenuating circumstances that may have affected examination performance. The COVID pandemic has affected all applicants so will not usually be considered as an extenuating factor.
  • Other circumstances that you feel may have resulted in detrimental impact on your academic progression.
  • Applicants sitting other A-levels, or equivalent level 3 qualifications, to those already achieved/sat.
  • European/international or other applicants who cannot offer GCSEs/IGCSEs, or offer limited GCSEs, please upload supporting evidence including school year 10 and/or 11 transcript/s of subjects and marks.
  • Please complete Form B, if you are a graduate applying to the A101 programme or a dentist with intentions to pursue a career in oral maxillofacial surgery and intend to apply for year 2 entry to the A101 programme.

WHAT ARE EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES?

The University policy for extenuating circumstances can be found here.

Extenuating circumstances are circumstances beyond a student’s control which have affected their performance in assessments (whether an examination, essay, practical or other form of assessment). They may include:

  • Bereavement – death of a close relative/significant other/close friend (of a nature which, in an employment context, would have led to an absence in accordance with the compassionate leave regulations)
  • Serious short term illness or accident (of a nature which, in an employment context, would have led to an absence on sick leave)
  • Evidence of a long term health condition worsening or of a change in a fluctuating condition
  • Significant adverse personal/family circumstances
  • Other significant exceptional factors for which there is evidence that performance has been impaired

If you answered yes to any of the above questions, please complete the following section.
