You must apply for the year you're due to be funded by the NHS. Do not apply at the start of your course.
The year we can fund depends on your course and circumstances.
5 or more years pre-registration course
Undergraduate medical and dental students are eligible to apply for NHS funding from their fifth year of study onwards.
This is regardless of which year of your medical or dental course programme you're up to.
The years classed as 'study' years can include an intercalation year if you study at Bachelors or Masters level and a foundation year if it was an integral part of your course.
We'll not account for any repeated years. If you repeat one of your non-NHS funded years, you must wait an additional study year before you can apply to us.
If you're exempt from the earlier years of the undergraduate medical or dental course, irrespective of which year you join the course, you can apply for NHS funding from year 5 of the course programme.
Accelerated pre-registration course for graduates with relevant before learning
If you're attending the accelerated 4 year graduate entry programme, you can apply for NHS funding from year 2 of the course.
