Undergraduate study

The University of Bristol is a research intensive university with many of our teaching staff pioneers in their specialist research fields. Building on areas of strength and innovation, we regularly update programme curricula to ensure they are integrated, dynamic and challenging.

Subjects you can study

Intercalated degrees

An intercalated award is an additional undergraduate degree (BSc or BA) or master's level programme that you complete in an intensive year away from your normal medical, dental or veterinary studies. Apply to intercalate at the University of Bristol.

We welcome all intercalating UK and international medical, dental and veterinary students onto our intercalated degrees at the Bristol Medical School.

Gateway degrees 

Our Gateway courses are a widening participation initiative for UK students who fulfil specific criteria and wish to apply for a clinical programme.

Gateway to Medicine

Gateway to Medicine is aimed at students with the potential to become doctors who do not meet the standard academic entry criteria to apply directly to our five-year Medicine course.

International Foundation Programme for Medicine

The International Foundation Programme for Medicine will prepare you to study Medicine in the UK. Through tailored English language and academic units, we will give you the skills to succeed.
