Find the course that’s right for you by searching through the courses on the University website.

Find a course

Consider the following when choosing your course and university:

• What are the compulsory and optional modules offered?
• Can you do an optional year abroad, or year in industry?
• Do you like the accommodation?
• Does the student life appeal to you in terms of the clubs and societies offered, location and facilities?

Make sure that you save the courses you like in your UCAS account by clicking the heart button on the online UCAS course search. All your liked courses will be stored in one place so you can go back and review them another time.

You can choose up to five applications. You could choose up to five different courses to the same university or apply for the same course in five different universities.

Do this as soon as you can in June / July so you can get stuck in to researching your courses. When you’ve compiled your shortlist, you’ll be ready to start your application.

As part of your profile on UCAS, you’ll need to write your personal statement. This is a very important part of the application

The UCAS personal statement is an important part of your application. This is where you get to persuade the university that they should accept you onto your chosen course. You only get 4,000 characters to explain why you want to study the course and the skills or experience you have that are essential for university study.

To write a winning personal statement you must have a good understanding about the course and what you’ll be studying. Remember that you write only one personal statement for your five choices so make sure that the courses are similar, if not the same, and make sure that you don’t mention a specific course or university.

Go over your application and get someone else to check it too – make sure you’ve applied for the right course at the right university.

You will need a reference from your teacher, adviser or someone who knows you academically or professionally.

When you are happy with your applications, pay the UCAS application fee online by debit or credit card and hit submit!

All the universities you have applied to will now consider your application and will respond – usually with either a conditional offer (grades they want you to achieve) or an unconditional offer.

The application deadline for medicine and graduate (for 2026 entry) is 15 October 2025.

You must sit the UCAT (University Clinical Aptitude Test) as part of your application in order to be considered for a Medicine degree.

You must book your UCAT test before 19 September 2025.

The last date to take your test is 26 September 2025.

More information on UCAT

Applicants who are shortlisted will be invited to interview in December (after the UCAS application deadline in October). Invitations are sent via email with a link to our online booking system.

Please note: Where an applicant has been invited to interview, a ‘dummy date’ will be issued through UCAS. This is a requirement of UCAS and is NOT the actual interview date. The offer will clearly state that you must disregard the date provided and that you will be contacted by email shortly.

Applicants should receive an email the following day directly from Bangor University inviting them to select their own interview slot. It is the applicant’s responsibility to ensure that they check their inbox, including their junk mail, regularly and book their interview slot prior to any deadline that may have been specified. If you have not received an email within 48 hours of the invite issued via UCAS, applicants must email medicineadmissions@bangor.ac.uk.

If you do not follow up and/or book your slot before the booking closing date, we cannot make alternative arrangements.

Once an applicant has booked an interview, the date/time cannot usually be changed, so please check with your other medical school choices to avoid a clash of dates (interview dates are often published in advance).

The interviews will be conducted in person at Bangor University and will take the form of face-to-face Multiple Mini Interviews (MMIs). MMIs involve a number of discussion stations and questions for discussion will explore personal qualities and attributes deemed important for doctors.

A final score will be determined by combining scores achieved in each discussion station.

Any known extenuating circumstance that may affect an applicant’s performance at interview must be declared when booking the interview slot to allow for reasonable adjustments.

In the event of illness or other extenuating circumstance on the day of interview which prevents an applicant from participating in the interview, the applicant must contact and notify the Admissions Team (medicineadmissions@bangor.ac.uk) prior to their interview time. An alternative interview date will be arranged if possible, but this cannot be guaranteed.

If an applicant has any concerns about the interview, they must bring it to the attention of the Admissions Team on the day of the interview.

Retrospective adjustments will not be made, and retrospective extenuating circumstances cannot be considered.

Failure to attend a booked interview without exceptional reasons will result in the application being rejected and no offer for the medicine programme will be made.

Offers are only made after all interviews have been completed.

The Admissions Group meets with the Dean of the North Wales Medical School and Programme Lead as soon as possible after all interviews have been conducted to determine the threshold for offers based on interview score.

Successful applicants will be notified via UCAS.

If you’re offered a place, you will be given either a Conditional or Unconditional offer.

• Conditional means you’ll need to meet specified conditions - normally this is achieving certain grades in your exams. These will be clearly stated in the offer.
• Unconditional means that you have guaranteed your place on the course. You already have sufficient grades, qualifications, or experience to satisfy their admission criteria.

Once all your chosen universities have made decisions, UCAS will contact you with a deadline date for your replies. You should check the 'Your choices’ section of your UCAS application and mark your decisions there.
