Course pathways

The A100 degree programme in Medicine offers three different routes for students applying from the UK. The route you apply for depends on where you prefer to undertake your final three years of training after graduating from the University of St Andrews:

Scotland route (Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh, Glasgow)
England route (Manchester, London)
No Preference route.

Applicants who are overseas for fee purposes will progress to Manchester Medical School for the final three years of the programme; there are no places for overseas students at any of the other partner medical schools.

Prospective students should consider the different medical school options available for their final years of study before submitting their application to the programme.
