International Student Admissions

Plymouth University Peninsula Schools of Medicine & Dentistry welcomes and encourages applications from suitably qualified international students who are either self-funded, supported by scholarships from their respective governments, or sponsored by scholarship programmes operated by the British Council and similar funding bodies.

If you're an international applicant you need to meet the admissions criteria described for home students, with the exception that you do not need to sit the UKCAT test. In addition international applicants need to be fully proficient in the English language. All teaching at our college is in English, so if English is not your first language and you do not have a GCSE or IGCSE pass at grade A in English Language, you must have one of the following qualifications:

  • International English Language Testing System (IELTS) band 7.5 or above with at least 7.0 in each of the Speaking and Listening sections, taken within 12 months prior to entry
  • IB score of 6 in English B at the standard level

We know that university life is a challenge for any student but especially when you're a long way from home. You'll find Plymouth University Peninsula Schools of Medicine & Dentistry friendly and supportive. The college has a nominated academic tutor to coordinate the induction and academic support provided to international students. The
