36. Open Pod: University of Birmingham

In this Open Pod episode, Lucy interviews Ciara from the University of Birmingham. Birmingham is an integrated course with an optional intercalation year. The A Level entry requirements for 2021 entry are AAA, and the UCAT score will be used to rank applicants for interview. Whilst there is no minimum UCAT cut-off score, the total UCAT scores of all applicants to the university will be ranked and put into deciles and given a score out of 3. For example, the top 10% of applicants’ scores will be in the top decile and will receive a maximum score of 3.0 in the process. Listen to this episode to hear all about how students really find the course and get some top tips on how to get in! Comment any questions for Ciara on her post on Instagram @howtobecomeadr!
