The applications process

Applications must be submitted by 15 October of the year prior to entry – late applications will not be accepted

Candidates should enquire at their GP surgery about starting a course of Hepatitis B vaccinations (see Occupational Health section below)

• Acknowledgement emails and letters are sent out on receipt of applications from UCAS as soon as possible after the 15 October closing date. Please ensure your email account is able to accept communications from St George’s.
• Applications are assessed between October and December to ensure that all candidates meet the above eligibility requirements.
• Interviews will take place in the last three weeks of January annually. Those with plans to travel during that period or those with dates where they are unavailable for interview must contact Admissions in writing as soon as possible after submission of an application (in addition to giving details on the UCAS form).
• The Admissions panel will meet to make decisions in the first week of February. Final decisions will be entered onto UCAS Track and formal letters/information packs sent to candidates within a few days.
• Candidates make firm and insurance choices of university on UCAS website
• Those with conditional offers (firm and insurance) must, regardless of results, submit outstanding documents by 1 June of the year of entry to meet the non-academic conditions of offer.
• Further information sent out in June regarding funding, course details including term dates and applications for halls of residence.
• When your results are released, if your university do not send a copy to the institution, then you should arrange for a copy to be either faxed or sent to us.
• Freshers’ packs sent out at the beginning of September including information on enrolment

Candidates with international degrees

• You must, as soon as possible after the 15 October closing date, send us directly:
• Copies of the certificate/academic transcript with a certified translation if not in English
• A certificate of comparability from NARIC (www.naric.org.uk)
• GAMSAT results are released in early December and the cut-off score will be set and published on the website. Unsuccessful candidates will receive decisions via UCAS Track and this will be followed up in writing. Candidates invited to interview will be sent an invitation pack

Occupational Health

Candidates accepted onto any healthcare courses are required to pass occupational health screening. When admitting candidates to study and practise as a health practitioner, St George’s has an obligation to both the patients they will encounter and to the individual student. Candidates who are concerned about a health issue are strongly advised to contact the relevant Admissions prior to applying. All offers of places at St George's/Kingston University are made subject to satisfactory health clearance and an agreement to undergo appropriate blood tests and immunisations.

All candidates will be asked to be immunised against Hepatitis B for personal safety. Please contact your general practitioner (GP) to arrange screening for infectivity from Hepatitis B. You should begin a course of Hepatitis B immunisation as soon as you submit your UCAS application, as it consists of three injections over a six-month period. Some GPs no longer offer HEP B courses. If your GP does not offer this then the University will immunise you. However, you should be aware that you may be vulnerable to infection until your first injection. If you firmly accept an offer made to you by the School, you will be sent a confidential health questionnaire and further information about the process of screening for Hepatitis B if this has not already been done.
