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
