Applicants are advised that this is a very intensive course, which requires a high level of commitment. All applicants for this program first have to complete a short, self-assessment exercise at home in biology, chemistry, and numeracy (or physics if appropriate) and then attend an interview with program lecturers or the Programme Director. Those offered a place may be required to attend a summer top-up course or complete set pre-coursework to revise and improve their numerical and/or science skills before the start of the modules in September.
