UK students
We expect to have 193 places for new UK entrants in September 2024.
Step 1
You must sit BMAT in October 2023.
Step 2
Submit your application to UCAS by 16 October 2023.
UCAS institution code name: BSMS
UCAS institution code: B74
Course code: A100
Step 3
Once candidates submit their UCAS application, our admissions team will email all applicants inviting them to activate and access the University of Brighton applicant area. They will also email to invite applicants to submit any evidence of contextual data. The admissions team will then review applications. Applicants meeting or predicted to meet our academic requirements will be ranked by their BMAT score, with the top ranking candidates invited to interview.
Please note that we will not consider applicants whose BMAT scores do not fulfil ALL of the following criteria:
- Section one: a score of at least 3 or higher
- Section two: a score of at least 6 or higher
- Section three: a score of at least 2.5 C or higher
BSMS aims to offer 30% of its interviews to candidates with contextual data flags and applicants with contextual data are ranked separately.

Step 4
Admissions interviews will take place in January 2024.
These interviews will be taking place remotely via the Zoom videoconferencing software, as they did in 2021, 2022 and 2023.
Zoom’s breakout rooms function allows us to run MMIs in a similar manner as we would ordinarily in-person, consisting of five discussion stations with a variety of interviewers.
You can see an example of an MMI discussion (held in-person) by watching the video below.
To prepare for the MMIs, you may wish to reflect on your work experience referring to the skills and values attributes needed to study medicine published by the Medical Schools Council.

Step 6
Offers are made to successful candidates between January and April. Candidates choose to accept offers.
Step 7
Qualification results are confirmed in August 2024. Candidates whose offers match their results are confirmed.
Please be advised that BSMS do not use personal statements at any point during the admissions process.
