Do aussie and uk med schools have major requirements? I am still a freshman and i am thinking of going the vet or med school route. Thinking of applying to uk or aussie vet schools because i am a f-1 student, and i want to increase my chances
For the UK, you can go down the 'traditional' 5 year program or the highly competitive, accelerated 4 year program as a graduate.
From one university:
"GRADUATE STUDENTS APPLYING FOR THE 5 YR MB BS PROGRAMME
Only your first undergraduate degree will be considered for entry
You may apply in the final year of your degree and must be predicted/achieved at least an upper second class honours degree (or equivalent) in any subject.
There must have been a significant component of Biology and Chemistry in your degree programme, at least equivalent to AS level.
Alternatively, you must have achieved grades of at least BB in A-level Biology and Chemistry prior to starting your degree or you must be completing or have completed AS levels in Chemistry and Biology and be predicted/achieved B grades in both.
