Application decisions
We typically receive a high number of applications to our courses in the School of Biomedical Sciences. The number of applicants exceeds the number of places available and so, to ensure that we treat all applications fairly and equitably, we wait until after the UCAS equal consideration application deadline has passed before making a final decision on applications for the following programmes:
- Biomedical Sciences (BSc and MBiol)
- Human Physiology, Physical Activity & Health (BSc and MBiol)
- Neuroscience (BSc and MBiol)
- Pharmacology (BSc and MBiol)
- Sport and Exercise Sciences (BSc)
If we put your application on hold for review after the UCAS application deadline, we will send you an email to let you know. Although you may have to wait longer than usual to receive a decision, you will hear from us by mid-May at the latest, in line with the deadline that UCAS sets universities for making decisions on applications submitted by the January UCAS deadline.
Offer decisions are made based on an overall review of applications including predicted grades, breadth of knowledge demonstrated through qualifications, personal statement, extra-curricular and work experience, and contextual information. We look for enthusiastic and talented students who have the potential to succeed in their studies with us and contribute to our community.
Internal transfers
The Faculty of Biological Sciences will consider applications from those who wish to transfer internally from other programmes at the University of Leeds, providing they’re made by 31 January 2024 UCAS deadline. Applicants are expected to meet the standard academic entry requirements. Applicants will be expected to discuss their change of programme with the Admissions Team before being accepted. Students wishing to be considered for second year entry should consult the section above for more information on Advanced Entry.
Resits
The Faculty of Biological Sciences will consider applications from those who are re-taking examinations prior to entering the University.
Deferrals
The Faculty of Biological Sciences will consider applications for deferred entry. Applicants who wish to defer following the submission of their application must do so prior to commencing the course, but preferably before the confirmation of a place.
Interviews
The Faculty of Biological Sciences does not require applicants to attend an interview as part of the admissions process.
