Question
How many students will start medicine courses at the medical school in Bangor this September, and how many of those are from Wales, the UK and internationally?
Answer
Answered by Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care
There are up to 80 places available for students to commence studying medicine at Bangor this September.
So far 61 offers have been issued to Welsh domiciled students, however not all students will accept their offers, as students make multiple applications to different schools. However, the offer holders have until 5 June to accept. Ultimately the exact breakdown will not be known until sometime after A level results day, as offers are on condition of academic attainment.
No International student applications were permitted, however any gaps remaining in terms of student numbers will be filled via clearing and a breakdown of UK nationalities/domicile status will not be known until after this process has concluded.
