出願プロセスと重要日程

  1. 20 MAY - 24 SEP

    Register, book and sit the UCAT

    UCAT registration opens on 20 May 2026, booking opens on 23 June 2026, testing starts on 13 July 2026, and the last test day is 24 September 2026. Applicants are responsible for booking and sitting the test within the testing window.

  2. 1 SEP

    Submit UCAS once applications open for submission

    Completed undergraduate applications for 2027 entry can be submitted to UCAS from 1 September 2026. Your reference must be complete before the application can be sent.

  3. 15 OCT

    Meet the medicine UCAS deadline

    The equal consideration deadline for most medicine courses is 15 October 2026 at 18:00 UK time. Imperial’s UCAS listing shows A100 Medicine, course code A100, with this apply-by date.

  4. EARLY NOV

    UCAT results delivered to universities

    UCAT states that results are delivered to universities in early November. Imperial uses UCAT scores to help decide shortlisting for interview, but published guidance says they are not the sole factor.

  5. WINTER - SPRING

    Shortlisting and Multiple Mini Interviews

    Shortlisted applicants are invited to Multiple Mini Interviews. Imperial/UCAS public information lists criteria such as NHS Constitution values, motivation for medicine, empathy, resilience, community activities, leadership and teamwork.

  6. BY 31 MAR - 12 MAY

    Receive university decisions

    UCAS says providers should aim to have sent decisions by 31 March for applications received by 13 January, with a reject-by-default deadline of 12 May 2027. Imperial Medicine may release outcomes earlier or in batches after interviews.

  7. 5 MAY - 2 JUN

    Reply to offers

    If all decisions are received by 31 March, the UCAS undergraduate reply deadline is 5 May 2027; if all decisions are received by 12 May, the reply deadline is 2 June 2027. Applicants usually choose a firm and, if applicable, an insurance choice.

  8. AUG 2027

    Results and confirmation

    Applicants holding conditional offers will need to meet the academic and any health/DBS conditions set by Imperial. The exact 2027 A-level/JCQ results date was not currently publishedfrom an official source.

Section 04

入試テスト

Student working through problems at a desk with timed papers

Imperial Medicine A100 requires the University Clinical Aptitude Test, usually shortened to UCAT. UCAT 2026 is the relevant test cycle for 2027 entry or deferred 2028 entry.

UCAT 2026 has four separately timed multiple-choice subtests: Verbal Reasoning, Decision Making, Quantitative Reasoning and Situational Judgement. Abstract Reasoning is no longer part of the current UCAT format. Registration opens on 20 May 2026 at 14:00 UK time, and registration closes on 16 September 2026 at 15:00 UK time.

The testing window runs from 13 July 2026 to 24 September 2026. Candidates receive a score report before leaving the test centre, and UCAT delivers results directly to UK universities in early November 2026.

For international students, UCAT gives Imperial another way to compare applicants across school systems and qualification routes. In reality, you should not plan around a fixed public score threshold for 2027, because no fixed 2027 score threshold should be used until Imperial publishes cycle-specific thresholds. Treat timed practice, not question memorisation, as the core of preparation.

Question Types You’ll See

Motivation-for-medicine and role-of-a-doctor discussionEthical scenario or NHS-values stationCommunication, empathy or resilience scenarioTeamwork and leadership reflectionExtracurricular interests and community-contribution reflection

Imperial Medicine uses Multiple Mini Interviews for shortlisted applicants.

The interview criteria include commitment to NHS Constitution values, motivation and understanding of medicine as a career, empathy, resilience, community activities, leadership and teamwork, and extracurricular interests. Typical station types may therefore include motivation-for-medicine discussion, ethical or NHS-values scenarios, communication scenarios, teamwork reflection and community-contribution reflection.

It helps to prepare with examples from caring exposure, teamwork, science reading and reflection, rather than memorising polished answers.

合否決定のしくみ

For 2027 entry, Imperial Medicine selection is a staged process: applicants first need to meet academic and administrative requirements, including UCAT in the application year. UCAT is then used after academic review to help decide interview shortlisting.

Shortlisted applicants complete Multiple Mini Interviews assessing values, motivation, empathy, resilience, community contribution, leadership and teamwork. Imperial says the UCAS application is unlikely to be referred to during interview, while UCAS says the UCAS application may be reviewed.

Section 07

Personal Statement のコツ

Handwritten notes and a laptop open to a draft document

For Imperial Medicine, the personal statement should show evidence of motivation, understanding of medicine, reflection, empathy and communication. A strong approach is to use a small number of examples in depth: one clinical or caring experience, one scientific reading or project example, and one teamwork or community example.

Do not write as if the personal statement will definitely be discussed at interview. Imperial says the UCAS application is unlikely to be referred to during the interview stage, while UCAS says it may be reviewed. In practice, the statement still matters because it helps organise your evidence before UCAT shortlisting and MMI preparation.

Avoid listing hospital departments, books and volunteering hours without reflection. It is better to explain what one patient-facing or caring situation taught you about confidentiality, uncertainty, teamwork or responsibility.

  6. 06振り返り

A good Medicine project should connect science, patients and judgement. A strong approach is to choose a narrow question and showing how your thinking changed as you found better evidence.

  • Patient journey and clinical reasoning map: Choose one common presentation, such as chest pain, abdominal pain or fatigue, and map possible causes, investigations, red flags, communication challenges and ethical considerations.
  • Public-health data mini-audit: Use public datasets or NHS/public-health reports to explore a question such as vaccination uptake, screening participation or health inequalities, then reflect on limits of the data.
  • Biomedical mechanism explainer: Study one disease mechanism, such as cancer, diabetes, asthma or autoimmune disease, and produce a clear explanation linking molecular biology to symptoms and treatment.

Section 08

その他のサプリキュラム

Other supercurriculars should help you test whether Medicine suits the way you think and work. A strong approach is to activities that develop observation, empathy, evidence use and communication under pressure.

These are support, not a substitute: they do not replace the required subjects, UCAT preparation or interview readiness.

  • Clinical or caring exposure:

    Seek sustained volunteering, care-home work, hospice support, hospital volunteering or community service where possible. Focus on reflection, confidentiality, teamwork and empathy rather than simply logging hours.

  • Ethics and NHS awareness:

    Read around consent, capacity, confidentiality, resource allocation and patient safety. Practise explaining balanced arguments rather than memorising stock ethical answers.

  • Scientific reading:

    Use accessible medical science books, review articles and reputable journals to connect Biology and Chemistry knowledge to disease, diagnosis and treatment.

  • Communication practice:

    Tutoring, mentoring, helpline volunteering, debating or public speaking can help build clarity, listening skills and responsiveness under pressure.

  • Research or practical science:

    A small independent investigation, Nuffield-style placement or school research project can show curiosity and disciplined evidence use.

  • UCAT preparation:

    Use the official UCAT question banks and timed practice tests early enough to diagnose weaknesses in Verbal Reasoning, Decision Making, Quantitative Reasoning and Situational Judgement.

Section 08

コンペティション

Competitions are not required for Imperial Medicine. What they do well is stretch your scientific reasoning and give you something concrete to reflect on. The examples below skew biological because the verified supercurricular list is medicine-facing rather than a complete catalogue of science competitions; use Chemistry through mechanism reading, research projects or other suitable stretch work so Biology is not the only scientific story in your application.

  1. British Biology Olympiad — tests advanced biological reasoning and problem-solving beyond standard school biology. Prepare by: Revise core A-level or equivalent Biology thoroughly, then practise past UKBC-style questions under timed conditions.
  2. Intermediate Biology Olympiad — tests first-year post-16 biology knowledge and problem-solving. Prepare by: Consolidate Year 12 Biology, practise interpreting unfamiliar biological data and review UKBC sample materials.
  3. Biology Challenge — tests biology knowledge and curiosity for younger secondary-school students. Prepare by: Build broad Biology foundations and practise short, varied questions rather than narrow syllabus recall only.
  4. Nuffield Research Placements — tests independent research skills, scientific communication and sustained project work. Prepare by: Prepare a concise application showing scientific curiosity, reliability and a clear reason for wanting research experience.
  5. UK Brain Bee — tests neuroscience knowledge for secondary/high-school students. Prepare by: Use the official competition guidance and introductory neuroscience resources, then practise explaining neural systems clearly.

None are required; one or two done well beats five half-attempted.

コース内容

  1. Year

    01 / 06

    1

    Phase 1a

    Foundations of medical science and patient context

    Year 1 introduces the scientific, clinical and social foundations of medicine. Students begin building biomedical knowledge while exploring how patients, communities and healthcare systems shape health and illness.

    Early integration of biomedical science with patient, community and healthcare perspectives.

  2. Year

    02 / 06

    2

    Phase 1b

    Systems, prevention and clinical research

    Year 2 develops the biomedical systems teaching from Year 1 and deepens students' understanding of disease, prevention and clinical reasoning. Students also begin formal engagement with clinical research and innovation.

    Research and innovation are introduced before the formal intercalated BSc year.

  3. Year

    03 / 06

    3

    Phase 1c

    Clinical transition and community apprenticeship

    Year 3 acts as the bridge from early medical science into more sustained clinical learning. Students prepare for predominantly clinical settings through community apprenticeship and secondary-care medicine and surgery placements.

    Community apprenticeship learning helps students connect classroom medicine with real patient care.

  4. Year

    04 / 06

    4

    Phase 2

    Mandatory intercalated BSc and research specialisation

    Year 4 is the compulsory intercalated BSc year. Students choose a specialist pathway and complete advanced taught work alongside a substantial supervised research project.

    The intercalated BSc is mandatory, so every student graduates with both MBBS and BSc awards.

  5. Year

    05 / 06

    5

    Phase 3a

    Clinical specialities and applied pathology

    Year 5 returns students to intensive clinical medicine and clinical-speciality learning. Students apply earlier scientific and research training to patient-facing work across hospital and community settings.

    Students move into sustained clinical-speciality learning after completing the intercalated BSc.

  6. Year

    06 / 06

    6

    Phase 3b

    Preparedness for practice

    Year 6 focuses on readiness for foundation training and safe transition into clinical practice. Students consolidate clinical judgement, professional responsibility and practical preparedness through final-year clinical activity.

    The pre-foundation assistantship and elective are designed to support transition into foundation practice.

Section 10

Medicineの知識を深める

Start with books that connect biological mechanisms to clinical uncertainty. The Emperor of All Maladies by Siddhartha Mukherjee links cancer science, patients, research and uncertainty. When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanithi is useful for reflecting on doctorhood, mortality and patient experience. Do No Harm by Henry Marsh helps applicants think about surgical risk, responsibility and fallibility. Complications by Atul Gawande is strong preparation for discussing uncertainty, systems, error and judgement in medicine.

Use video selectively. Osmosis from Elsevier gives clear animated explainers for biomedical mechanisms, pathology and physiology. Geeky Medics is useful for observing communication, consultation structure and clinical-skills demonstrations. Zero To Finals gives concise clinical topic summaries that connect school science to medicine. Kharma Medic gives student-facing reflections on medical-school applications, study habits and medical training.

Podcasts are useful when they make you think about health systems, ethics and day-to-day medical practice. Sharp Scratch discusses real issues faced by medical students and junior doctors. Inside Health gives accessible discussion of current health, evidence and medical practice. Intention to Treat introduces major medical-policy, ethics and public-health themes. The Resus Room gives clinically focused emergency-care discussion for applicants ready to stretch beyond school content.

For structured preparation, use official and clinically focused resources before paid shortcuts. UCAT Official Practice Tests and Question Banks is the most reliable starting point for UCAT format, question style and timed practice. UCAT Preparation Resources gives the official structured preparation route covering tutorials, question banks and practice tests. Geeky Medics OSCE Guides and Videos is useful for observing communication, consent, explanation and structured clinical interactions. Zero To Finals Medicine gives concise clinical notes that connect science learning with medical conditions. Step into the NHS Careers A-Z is a general UK medicine resource rather than an Imperial-specific one, but it is useful for understanding healthcare roles and multidisciplinary teamwork, which connects to Imperial's interview criteria around NHS values, leadership and teamwork.

卒業後のキャリア

Imperial Medicine outcomes are strongly clinical, and the indexed 2023 Imperial undergraduate destinations table places the dominant share of employed Medicine graduates in Human Health and Social Work. In the Discover Uni data available, 98% of Imperial A100 Medicine graduates were reported as going on to work and/or study 15 months after the course; keep this as a directional outcomes figure. Imperial frames the degree as preparation for clinical medical practice as well as routes into research and related medical careers.

Section 12

特別な事情について

Imperial operates contextual admissions processes and asks applicants to check eligibility through its official contextual admissions guidance. Contextual circumstances.

Applicants with disruption, disability-related needs or UCAT access requirements should use official UCAS, Imperial and UCAT channels early, because access arrangements usually have separate evidence and deadline requirements. School context, available subjects and educational disadvantage may be relevant, but applicants should avoid presenting contextual eligibility as a guaranteed offer.

Medicine applicants should keep referees informed about disruption or limited access to clinical work experience so that the UCAS reference can give appropriate context.

よくあるご質問

Imperial publishes a minimum entry standard of A*AA at A-Level (with the A* in Biology, Chemistry or Mathematics) and 38 points overall at IB with 6,6,6 at Higher Level including Biology and Chemistry. Both Biology and Chemistry are required A-Level subjects. Confirm the latest offer on the official Imperial Medicine A100 course page.
Yes. All Medicine A100 applicants must sit the UCAT in the relevant admissions cycle. UCAT scores are used after academic screening to help shortlist candidates for interview. Cut-offs vary year-to-year and Imperial does not announce them in advance of the cycle.
Shortlisted applicants are invited to a Multiple Mini Interview — a circuit of short, structured stations testing motivation, ethical reasoning, communication, empathy, resilience, teamwork and engagement with NHS values. Stations are scored independently; the overall score determines the offer decision alongside UCAT and academic record.
For 2027 entry, Imperial Medicine A100 follows the UCAS Medicine deadline of 15 October 2026 at 18:00 UK time. Late applications are very rarely considered.
No. Unlike Oxford or Cambridge, Imperial does not run a collegiate undergraduate admissions process. You apply directly to Imperial College London for a specific course, and admissions are handled centrally by the relevant academic department.
Yes — Imperial accepts international applicants for Medicine, subject to a separate quota and the same UCAT, MMI and academic requirements. International offer-holders normally apply for a UK Student visa once Imperial has confirmed the place and issued sponsorship.
