Biomedical Sciences Transfer
Each year, the Medical School considers applications to transfer to Year 1 of the MBBS degree programme from students registered on Stage 1 of one of the Medical Faculty's undergraduate Bioscience degree programmes.
Application Guidance
There are up to 7 places available each year and there is always a great deal of competition. Candidates must meet the requirements for transfer as noted in the Biomedical Sciences Transfer Information document.
Students must be registered at Newcastle University, at the Faculty of Medical Sciences, for one of the Biomedical and Biomolecular Sciences degree programmes.
Only one application will be considered. If you wish to apply to be considered through the internal transfer route, we would be unable to consider a UCAS application in the same admission cycle.
Entry Requirements
Any student wishing to apply for a place on the MBBS degree programme must be in good academic standing and should fulfil the following academic requirements:
- A minimum average mark of 70% across the Stage 1 - Semester 1 module.
- No less than 65% for any one module.
- A minimum average mark of 70% across all Stage 1 modules.
- Provide evidence of their UCAT score. Please note, we do not accept STJ Band 4.
Scores must be achieved within two years of commencing Stage 1 of a Biomedical and Biomolecular Sciences degree programme.
This information must be made available to the Medical Student Office at the time of the application.
