what is the requirement for dse student to study UCL mbbs

For a Hong Kong DSE student, UCL Medicine MBBS is not clearly listed as accepting HKDSE directly in the evidence available here. UCL says Medicine only considers international qualifications if they are specifically shown in the online prospectus, so you should confirm directly with UCL before applying with HKDSE only .

Key requirements for UCL MBBS

• UCL Medicine’s standard accepted routes are mainly GCE A-levels or the International Baccalaureate Diploma .

• For A-levels, UCL Medicine requires Chemistry and Biology at A-level, plus a third subject; the A-levels must be studied at the same time and completed within two years .

• For IB, applicants must take Chemistry and Biology at Higher Level, plus three Standard Level subjects .

• All candidates need GCSE/IGCSE/O-level/IB/EB equivalent English Language and Mathematics at grade B/6 or above .

• If English is not your first language, UCL may accept an alternative English language test, and UCL states “Level 4” must be achieved in each case .

What this means for HKDSE students

• UCL’s Hong Kong page gives only general undergraduate guidance and says specific programme requirements may differ and may be higher .

• The same Hong Kong page says students should check the relevant programme page and select the country in the “International Qualifications” section .

• The evidence here does not confirm a specific HKDSE grade offer for UCL MBBS, so the safest interpretation is: HKDSE alone may not be accepted unless UCL’s MBBS prospectus specifically lists it .

Practical advice

• Check the UCL Medicine MBBS prospectus “International Qualifications” section for Hong Kong/HKDSE before applying .

• If HKDSE is not listed for Medicine, consider applying with A-levels or IB including Chemistry and Biology .

• You should email UCL’s Hong Kong contact or UCL Medical School admissions to ask whether HKDSE is acceptable for MBBS in your entry year .
