Peninsula Medical School (now University of Plymouth and University of Exeter)
Plymouth / Exeter. five-year BMBS.
Peninsula Medical School (now University of Plymouth and University of Exeter) is located in Plymouth / Exeter. The standard course is a five-year BMBS. The original Peninsula Medical School, a joint Plymouth-Exeter institution founded in 2000, was formally split in 2013 into two separate medical schools: the University of Plymouth's Peninsula Medical School and the University of Exeter Medical School. Both retain a community-oriented curriculum and serve the south-west of England.
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.
