概要
Medicine at the University of Oxford is the A100 course, with a six-year BA / BM BCh structure and a typical A*AA A-level offer. The course separates three pre-clinical years, including the BA Honours degree in Medical Sciences, from three clinical years, so it suits applicants who want a strong scientific base before full clinical-school work.

Section 04
Oxford Medicine requires the University Clinical Aptitude Test, usually shortened to UCAT.
For 2027 entry, UCAT registration opens on 20 May 2026 at 14:00 UK time, booking runs from 23 June 2026 at 14:00 UK time to 16 September 2026 at 15:00 UK time, and the testing window runs from 13 July to 24 September 2026.
The standard 2026 UCAT has four timed subtests: Verbal Reasoning, Decision Making, Quantitative Reasoning and Situational Judgement.
Oxford uses UCAT as part of shortlisting alongside GCSE performance where available and contextual review.
Based on published statistics for the 2025 admissions round for 2026 entry, Oxford reported a mean overall UCAT score of 2377.5 for shortlisted applicants and 2407.1 for offer-holders, out of 2700.
In reality, you should treat UCAT as a major comparison tool across schools, countries and qualification systems, not as a box to tick.
For international applicants, UCAT matters because it gives Oxford a common score when grades come from different systems.
China needs special planning because UCAT OnVUE is not available to candidates with a registered address in China, including Macau.
Start with the official UCAT practice materials first, then add timed review only after the format is familiar.

Question Types You’ll See
Oxford’s current Medicine interview record describes online academic interviews with scientific reasoning and medical aptitude at the centre.
The interview is designed to test scientific ability, problem-solving, critical thinking, analytical approach, suitability for Medicine, communication, listening, empathy, ethical awareness and tutorial-style engagement.
Expect unfamiliar scientific or data-based prompts, biology or chemistry reasoning, human physiology discussion, ethical scenarios and follow-up questions that require you to think aloud.
Practise out-loud reasoning rather than rehearsed speeches. A strong answer usually shows the examiner what you noticed, what assumption you are making, what evidence would change your view, and where you are uncertain.

Section 06
Oxford Medicine decisions are staged: candidates are first screened for eligibility and shortlisted using UCAT and academic evidence, including GCSE performance where comparable and contextualised review where relevant.
Shortlisted applicants then have online college interviews, and colleges rank candidates using all available information.
Final offer allocation is made after colleges review interview rankings alongside the second-college ranking and UCAT score, including the Situational Judgement band.
Our recommendation · weighting of admission factors
Oxbridge Mentors recommendation, drawn from observed offer patterns. University of Oxford does not publish official weightings — exact balance varies by college, course and year.
Section 07
Oxford lists the UCAS personal statement and academic reference among the evidence considered, but Medicine selection is not won by a polished story alone.
Use the statement to show three things: scientific curiosity, realistic understanding of healthcare, and reflection on patients or teams.
Avoid long claims about wanting to help people unless you can attach them to a specific moment, question or change in your thinking.
It helps to connect reading and experience. For example, a paragraph on antibiotic resistance is stronger if it links mechanism, clinical decision-making, public health and uncertainty.

Medicine PS例文 →Section 08
Good Medicine projects are not about sounding advanced. They are about showing that you can define a question, work carefully, handle uncertainty and explain what changed in your thinking.
Section 08
Other preparation should support your scientific and professional thinking, not replace it.
These are support, not substitute.
Reflective healthcare exposure:
Use volunteering, caring roles, community work or shadowing where available. Keep a reflective diary focused on communication, teamwork, uncertainty and patient-centred care rather than simply listing hours.
Scientific reading:
Read beyond the school syllabus using review articles, reputable medical journalism and introductory textbooks. Track questions you would ask a tutor or interviewer.
Statistics and clinical trials:
Learn the basics of randomisation, controls, blinding, absolute versus relative risk, sensitivity and specificity. Medicine applicants benefit from being able to critique evidence.
Ethics and professionalism:
Follow cases involving consent, confidentiality, resource allocation and public health. Practise explaining competing ethical principles without sounding formulaic.
Communication practice:
Explain a medical-science concept to a non-specialist audience in writing or verbally. This builds clarity, empathy and precision.
Independent research or EPQ-style work:
A small project can be useful if it creates sustained thinking: define a question, gather sources, evaluate limitations and reflect on what remains uncertain.
Section 08
Competitions are not required for Oxford Medicine. Done well, they can stretch biological reasoning, data handling, research engagement or communication.
Biology Challenge is an earlier-years option, while the British Biology Olympiad and Intermediate Biology Olympiad are more directly relevant for many post-16 applicants. None are required; one or two done well beats five half-attempted.
Section 09
Year
01 / 06
1
Foundations of medical science
The first year establishes the scientific foundations of medicine through anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, biochemistry, genetics and population health. Students are introduced to patient contact through the early Learning with Patients strand while developing the vocabulary and reasoning needed for later clinical work.
Year
02 / 06
2
Systems, pathology and behaviour
The second year develops the scientific base into more applied medical contexts, including nervous-system science, pathology, psychology and further physiology and pharmacology. The year continues the Learning with Patients strand and completes the First BM pre-clinical examination sequence.
Year
03 / 06
3
Research-led medical science
The third year leads to the BA Honours in Medical Sciences and gives students greater choice within biomedical science. Students study across broad scientific themes, choose advanced options, complete an essay and undertake a research project, preparing them to evaluate evidence and engage with medicine as a research-led discipline.
Year
04 / 06
4
Transition to clinical medicine
The first clinical year introduces students to full-time clinical medicine, including the Patient and Doctor Course II, general practice, laboratory medicine and core hospital attachments. Students begin applying scientific knowledge directly to diagnosis, patient communication and clinical reasoning.
Year
05 / 06
5
Specialist clinical rotations
The second clinical year broadens experience across major medical and surgical specialties. Students rotate through specialist blocks such as paediatrics, psychiatry, obstetrics and gynaecology, musculoskeletal medicine, neurology and related hospital and community settings.
Year
06 / 06
6
Preparation for practice
The final year consolidates clinical competence and professional readiness through senior rotations, options, special study modules, a ten-week elective and a student assistantship. It is designed to help students move from supervised clinical learning towards the responsibilities of Foundation Year 1.
Section 10
Start with clinical observation and evidence. Bad Science is useful for bias, statistics and medical claims, while The Emperor of All Maladies connects cancer biology, clinical trials, public health and patient care.
For patient-centred curiosity, The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat builds observation and neurological thinking, and The Gene: An Intimate History is useful for genetics, inheritance and biomedical ethics.
For videos, Oxford Medical Education gives concise clinical teaching, Ninja Nerd develops physiology and pathology depth, Armando Hasudungan uses visual biomedical explanations, and Osmosis from Elsevier gives animated summaries of physiology and clinical concepts.
For audio, Medicine and Science from The BMJ and The Lancet Voice are useful for research, policy and global-health awareness.
NEJM This Week helps you follow major research summaries, while Bedside Rounds links clinical medicine, history, uncertainty and patient-centred care.
For structured study, Vital Signs: Understanding What the Body Is Telling Us introduces physiology and clinical observation, and Understanding Clinical Research: Behind the Statistics helps with study design and medical evidence.
Keep a short reading log with one clinical question, one science question and one ethical question per resource.
Section 11
28 colleges offer this subject. 15.9% of applicants submit an open application. 44.8% of places come through the pool.
In the 2025 admissions round, 15.9% of eligible Medicine applicants made an open application.
In the same round, 44.8% of Medicine offers were made by colleges other than the applicant’s preference or open-application allocation.
Oxford uses reallocation to balance competition between colleges, and Medicine college preference is considered only after applicants have been shortlisted.
We recommend choosing a college you would be happy to live and study in, or making an open application if you have no preference. College choice should not be treated as a reliable admissions tactic.
[Oxford admissions overview](/admissions/oxford/)
Section 12
Oxford Medicine is a vocational medical degree and a research-led academic course, and Discover Uni confirms the course is a six-year BM BCh Medicine degree with GMC-accredited primary medical qualification status.
After the BM BCh, graduates normally progress towards provisional GMC registration and Foundation Year 1 before continuing through the UK Foundation Programme or equivalent routes.
Section 13
Oxford considers academic achievement in context, including school and individual circumstances where information is available.
Medicine selection uses GCSE performance where available in combination with UCAT for initial shortlisting, while applicants without GCSEs are assessed using the qualifications available to Oxford.
Oxford states there are no formal GCSE requirements for Medicine, but applicants should have basic education in Biology, Physics and Mathematics; GCSE grade C/4 or equivalent is given as an example of basic preparation.
Evidence of commitment to Medicine may come from volunteering, caring responsibilities, work experience, reading, research, communication activities or other forms of engagement.
For contextual review, the important point is not to repeat the personal-statement argument but to help tutors interpret opportunity, preparation and evidence fairly. Explain the setting of your commitments or constraints clearly, then let the academic and reflective evidence do the work.
