About admissions
The prime qualifications you must possess are the ability, the commitment and the personal qualities necessary to become an excellent doctor.
In assessing your application BSMS admissions tutors will be seeking evidence of:
- academic achievement and potential
- a realistic attitude to medical training and clinical practice
- a commitment to caring for others
- the ability to communicate and work effectively within a team
- the ability to appreciate other people’s point of view
- a willingness to accept responsibility
Please note that BSMS may verify references and records of work experience and you will be asked, if called for interview, to bring with you documentary evidence of any work experiences undertaken.
BSMS is part of the UK Clinical Aptitude Test (UKCAT) consortium and will expect all applicants to sit the UKCAT test prior to application. The UKCAT scores are used by different consortium members in different ways. BSMS has always taken particular care to account for both academic and non-academic factors in considering whether to make an offer of a place, and we are broadly satisfied that our application procedures are effective at selecting students from a wide background and with all of the attributes that Tomorrow’s Doctors will need.
