Medicine supervision - a male student talkingWe welcome applications from students in the Scottish SQA qualification system who would like to apply for Medicine at Christ's. We define the terms our offers individually, but for students in the scottish system, the minimum offer for Medicine is A1, A1, A2 in three Advanced Highers:

  • Advanced Higher Chemistry is a required subject for Medicine at Cambridge.
  • For an application to Christ's you must also have two further Advanced Highers out of
    • Biology
    • Mathematics
    • Physics

You will also need to take the UCAT which requires registration by mid-September at the latest. You'll be able to search for test centres in Scotland where you can sit the UCAT between early July and late September.

Please read our Medicine page thoroughly, including profiles by some of our students, information about what the application process (including the UCAT) involves, and resources for developing your interest and relevant skills.

As well as the Medicine subject meetings on Zoom in the Christ's Online Open Days (October of S5, February of S5, or September of S6), events with Medicine content include Christ's Medicine Taster Day, the University open day online or in person in July of S5, and look out for any Medicine Masterclasses.

Please don't worry if your school is not able to provide support for your application to Cambridge, as we provide support directly via our ongoing support emails and events in the lead up to application, our UK application support pages and our current applicants section.
