You will need to upload the following documents:

For all applicants

  • English Language tests (if applicable)
  • A signed Student Entry Agreement (a blank copy will be sent to you ahead of enrolment)

Offer holders with pre-existing illnesses or disabilities

We want to make sure we can support you through your studies.

If you suffer or have suffered from a serious illness (physical or psychological), or have a disability or specific learning difficulty, please let us know. St George’s is committed to supporting our students and will explore all reasonable adjustments to support you to thrive on your course.

Please contact our Disability Advisor as soon as possible with details to help us establish whether your health history or disability is likely to affect your ability to study or practise. This will also give us sufficient time to carry out a detailed assessment, obtain reports and organise additional expert assessments if required.

There are very few reasons why someone cannot study with us, but occasionally our Disability Advisor or a member of the St George's Trust's Occupational Health department may advise that an applicant is not fit to study immediately which could result in a deferral or a withdrawal. 

Attendance at site

All of our courses include elements of teaching for which you will be required to attend the University site and attendance at these sessions will be essential to enable you to engage with the course and undertake assessments.

Placements

You will be required to undertake a personal risk assessment before you can attend any placements or undertake certain activities, such as those which include the practice of clinical skills or require the use of PPE. Where a health concern arises, every effort will be made to identify alternative placements arrangements, but your health and safety will be the first priority and alternative arrangements may not be possible, which may have implications for your study. If you are clinically vulnerable, we strongly encourage you to contact the Disability Advisor now to undertake an assessment.

 Helpful tips

  • Keep your contact details up to date on UCAS Hub.

  • Avoid using a school, university, or employer email address as your main contact email address as you might lose access before enrolment.

  • Keep an eye on your email and check it regularly. This is how we generally keep in touch, so look out for any @sgul.ac.uk emails.
