Undergraduate degree programmes

Applications for our undergraduate programmes should be made online through the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS)*.

You can choose up to five courses in your UCAS application. You can apply for more than one course offered by a university - just make a separate entry for each choice.

You can only choose four medicine and dentistry courses in your application but you can add a fifth choice as long as it is a different subject.

Our institution code is Q50. You'll need this as well as your UCAS course code, which you can find on your chosen course page from the course finder.

*If you are applying from any of the following regions, please contact the Admissions team to register your interest:

• Crimea Region/Sevastopol
• Cuba
• Iran
• North Korea
• Syria

When can I apply?

The application deadline (26 January) for equal consideration for the majority of Queen Mary courses has now passed. Late applications will still be considered for the majority of Queen Mary courses, though we may close a few courses to applications. We encourage you still to apply, applications should be made via UCAS. 

There are more flexible deadlines for international applicants, but we recommend you apply early for popular courses.

You can find key dates and deadlines below.

Apply via UCAS

Medicine and Dentistry

As part of the application process for our Medicine and Dentistry programmes, you will need to sit the University Clinical Aptitude Test (UCAT).

Register for UCAT

This test is in addition to meeting the standard academic entry requirements and assesses your suitability for medical and dental study. Find out more about our admissions requirements for medicine and dentistry.

Medicine in Malta

We also offer a five-year degree in Malta as an alternative to the standard London-based MBBS. Applications for our Malta-based Medicine programme should apply directly to Queen Mary, rather than via UCAS.

Find out more about studying medicine in Malta.

Intercalated degrees

Students studying at another medical or dental school are welcome to apply to our intercalated degrees.
