Bristol Medical School
Bristol. five-year MBChB and six-year gateway programme.
Bristol Medical School is located in Bristol. The standard course is a five-year MBChB and six-year gateway programme. Bristol's MBChB rotates through a wide south-west of England clinical network including Bristol, Bath and Weston General. The gateway-to-medicine programme is a six-year widening-access route for applicants who do not meet the standard entry requirements.
Entry requirements, the weighting given to the UCAT, GAMSAT or other admissions tests, and the structure of the interview process all change from year to year. The single most reliable source for any prospective applicant is the medical school's own admissions page for the year of entry — the official link below. Comparative information across all UK medical schools is collated annually by the Medical Schools Council.

About this page
This page is one of a set of medical school and medical careers resources on chrispaton.org, replacing the category landings of New Media Medicine (newmediamedicine.com), an early digital health blog and UK medical school applications community I ran between 2004 and 2014. The original New Media Medicine forum threads — user-generated content from that community — are not republished here; this is original framing written to help current applicants find authoritative information. Always confirm details with the official sources linked above before acting on them.
