For entry in 2021-22
The number of places available to study medicine and dentistry is regulated by the government and controlled through the use of intake targets operated by the OfS which limits the number of students a provider may recruit in each year.
Due to last year’s disruption from COVID-19 and the impact on A-level results in 2020-21, there was an increased number of students eligible to take up their offer at a medical or dental school. In response to this, the government asked the OfS to suspend the use of the intake controls during the 2020-21 academic year.
As a direct result of the impact on A-level outcomes in 2020, many students either deferred their entry from 2020-21 by one year or were able to secure a place for 2021-22 by sitting their A-levels in autumn and meeting the conditions of their 2020-21 offer.
As a result of this disruption, coupled with the impact on 2021-22 outcomes from this year's A-level results, the OfS has updated the intake targets for 2021-22 following communication from government so that new entrants will not be disadvantaged. These targets were updated in May and again in August 2021.
