About Us
Dukes Medical Applications is a new range of bespoke programmes from Dukes Education, a leading global provider of education consultancy services. We build on nearly 20 years’ experience of guiding and supporting undergraduate applications to top medical schools in the UK, such as Oxford, Cambridge, Imperial and UCL.
Our medical admissions consultants draw upon extensive experience and research to offer a support programme that will help you increase your chance of winning a place. Our medical school admission programmes are not designed to ‘serve you a place’ at medical school, but to build on your academic and personal strengths, helping you develop confidence as a potential medical professional.

Our Results
Over 18 years, we have supported more than 65,000 students in over 120 countries, and annually work closely with a global network of over 400 schools. During that time we have helped hundreds of applicants win places in medical school, giving them the benefit of our research and expertise every step of the way. 50% of Oxbridge applicants on our Medical Application Programme received a place to study Medicine, compared to the average of 15.2% for all applicants to Oxbridge Medicine.
Our Research
Every year we conduct extensive research into the application process for Medicine and medical sciences such as Veterinary Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmacy. We train our tutors to reflect this in their tuition, giving our students the most accurate picture of the application process possible, from personal statement drafting to interview practice. And because our work is informed by doctors, former medical Admissions Tutors, and lay members of admissions panels to top UK universities, including Oxford, Cambridge, UCL and Imperial, we are apprised of any changes in what medical schools want to see from new applicants.
We also keep up-to-date on the assessments and tests that each medical candidate will face, such as the BMAT and UKCAT, and their importance for each medical school admissions decision. This means we are in the best position to prepare you for the tests you will sit and give you the best chance to maximise your score.

Dukes Medical Applications also hosts London’s annual Young Person’s Medical Conference
Inspired by global medical research conferences, Young Person’s Medical Conference brings a vision of the future of Medicine to pre-university students. Students aiming to apply for Medicine at university will eventually qualify into a very different world from the one we see today. Over a series of talks from medical specialists, leaders in relevant technology, and practitioners, schoolleavers will receive a glimpse of the future of Medicine – the medical world to which they will, one day, perhaps contribute. Students move from the global scale to the immersive reality of medical life, over a number of theatrical workshops.
