How to Apply
For undergraduate courses you should apply through UCAS www.ucas.com. Please also take particular note of the course code and the institution code. Some courses have a St George’s, University of London institution code (SGEO S49) and some courses have a Kingston University institution code (KING K84). Please make sure that you enter the correct code on your UCAS form.
Students with disabilities We are keen to help all suitable applicants to study in a variety of healthcare professions. However the vocational nature of some of these courses means that there will be requirements which will not be possible for some applicants with a disability. You are strongly advised to contact the relevant Admissions Tutor (see "Contact for Further Information" at the end of each course entry) as early as possible before applying. See also Students with Disabilities. Applicants with disabilities may wish to contact SKILL: The National Bureau for Students with Disabilities on Tel: 0800 328 5050 (voice), 0800 068 2422 (text) or e-mail info@skill.org.uk further information and advice. The Bureau produces a booklet entitled "Into Higher Education 2000. The Higher Education Guide for People with Disabilities" which potential applicants may find useful.
Health issues
Student entry agreements For all courses at St George’s you are required to sign an entry agreement, copies of which can be viewed on our website (under the relevant course details).
Age limits Applicants for all courses delivered at St George’s must be 18 years old by 1 September of the year of entry but we do not have an upper age limit. We advise applicants for medicine who are over the age of 35 to seriously consider the implications of starting a demanding career at this age. You should note that it takes a minimum of 9 to 10 years to complete training in some medical specialities and some specialities may be reluctant to allow a candidate who is very much older than is usual to begin that training.
Criminal Record Bureau checks For all healthcare students we will carry out an Enhanced Criminal Records Bureau check for those accepted onto the course. This will reveal all convictions and cautions including those that are normally considered spent. If you are concerned about your eligibility to enter a course because of a previous or pending criminal conviction you are strongly advised to contact the relevant Admissions Officer in writing before applying. St George’s does not wish to debar individuals with criminal records from taking advantage of the opportunities offered by Higher Education. A criminal record may not be an obstacle to studying at St George’s but we must balance our responsibilities to provide a safe and secure environment for our staff, students, visitors and patients in the Trust with whom we work and others. In addition, we have to take into account the demands of various professional bodies and requirements under law to protect special categories of people, e.g. children and vulnerable adults under the terms of the Protection of Children Act (1999). Entry to these courses is subject to the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act (1974) Section 4 (2) (Exemption) Order 1975 and DHSS Circular HC (88) 9 guidelines on child protection and police checks. All information will be treated in the strictest confidence.
Equal opportunities — a welcome for everyone We actively promote equality of opportunity for all with the right mix of talent, skills and potential and welcome applications from a wide range of candidates, especially those who are currently underrepresented. St George’s, University of London, is committed to the fair treatment of its applicants, students, staff or users of its services, regardless of race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, marital or parental status, age, physical/mental disability, politics or background. We strive to ensure that all members of St George’s behave with courtesy towards each other and that students and staff can work in an atmosphere of mutual respect.
Appeals Some applicants may feel that their application or enquiry has not been given due consideration. If you would like to make an appeal against a decision you should write to the relevant Admissions Tutor (see 'Contact for Further Information' at the end of each course entry).
Transfer between courses
Medical courses entry exams (UKCAT and GAMSAT) Please note for the MBBS5 and MBBS4 you also have to sit an entry exam. The timetables for these exams are set externally and it is therefore important that you arrange to sit these exams in good time to meet St George's/UCAS application deadlines.
Details of how to apply for postgraduate courses are given with the course details. All applications are direct to St George's, University of London.
