The UK medical schools atlas

Every UK medical school, on one map.

All 53 of the UK medical schools mapped to their primary teaching campus, offering 92 medicine programmes between them. 22 schools run a graduate-entry route, 20 have a foundation gateway year, and 20 have opened since 2015. Tap any school for the detail.

By Dr. Dibah Jiva. Built on data from UCAS, HESA, and each school's own admissions pages. I will keep adding layers (placement networks, student-experience scores, where graduates end up) over the months ahead.

Tap any dot to see the programmes

Position is the school's primary medicine campus. Programme list is current per each school's 2026-entry UCAS listing. Schools whose first cohort has not yet started appear as outline circles. The atlas updates as new programmes open and existing programmes change cycle. Map data © OpenStreetMap, © Mapbox.
