Cardiff University: Medicine for international applicants

What this means if you are applying from Nigeria

• Open to international applicants; the number of international places is not published in our records. International applicants are usually ranked against each other, so the admissions test matters as much as grades.
• Your WAEC or NECO: no Nigeria-specific statement located; treat WASSCE or NECO as the GCSE layer and plan on A-levels, the IB, a foundation year that leads to Medicine, or a degree. WAEC statements for every school.
• English: no school-specific statement located; Medicine typically asks for IELTS 7.0 to 7.5 with component minimums. English requirements.
• Foundation route: no foundation route to Medicine is published for international applicants in our records. Foundation routes that publish Medicine as a destination.
• Graduates: graduate-entry eligibility for international applicants is not established here; graduates can usually apply to the standard course on degree class plus the admissions test. Graduate entry with a Nigerian degree.
