DIRECTORY METHODS & OPEN DATA
How to read the MedStudy programme directory
MedStudy is a selective, source-linked directory of English-taught healthcare degrees. Each record is a starting point for checking the exact course, intake and route to practice. A listing is not a university ranking, an offer or a registration decision.
Directory analysis prepared . Underlying programme review dates are retained separately.
What the current directory covers
This version contains 105 programme profiles across 33 destinations and four professions. Its purpose is to help UK-based students ask better questions about entry, clinical training, cost and registration.
| Subject | Profiles | Destinations | Evidence report |
|---|---|---|---|
| Medicine | 45 | 26 | Medicine data and CSV |
| Dentistry | 27 | 18 | Dentistry data and CSV |
| Pharmacy | 15 | 12 | Pharmacy data and CSV |
| Veterinary Medicine | 18 | 15 | Veterinary Medicine data and CSV |
How the evidence is recorded
- Identify the precise course. Record the university, award where available, teaching location, subject, duration and language. Separate school-leaver entry from graduate or prior-study requirements.
- Use official evidence. Programme profiles link to university sources; professional-registration questions use the responsible regulator. The source register retains the recorded check date.
- Keep unknowns visible. An absent numeric fee is a request for a quote, never a zero-cost course. An unclear selection route is labelled for confirmation.
- Retain the original currency and reference year. Different intake years, applicant categories and fee coverage cannot be ranked as like-for-like prices without further checks.
- Separate decisions. Admission, academic qualification, professional registration, training access and immigration permission have different decision makers.
What these reports do not measure
The reports analyse the directory records, not all universities worldwide. The sample is selective, not random or representative. Counts describe what the directory records; they do not measure university quality, current availability, acceptance rates, graduate outcomes or the probability of UK registration.
A source link is not evidence that it has been checked again on the analysis date. Programme review dates and fee-reference years remain visible. No fee averages or cheapest-university rankings combine different currencies or incomplete course costs. No personal student records are included.
Editorial responsibility and specialist review
Mihail Florin Gavrila is MedStudy’s founder and editorial contact. Directory preparation uses AI-assisted research and website tools, as explained in the editorial standards. A source-check date is not a clinical, admissions or regulatory expert-review credit. Each university and regulator remains responsible for its own decisions.

Download all programme evidence (CSV)
The CSV contains public programme identifiers, subject, country, duration, selection label, tuition-evidence coverage, currency, reference year, source-review date and official URLs. It does not include private contact databases, student data or inferred admission outcomes.
Download the field definitions and limitations (JSON). Cite MedStudy, the analysis date and the original official sources; recheck the current university terms before acting.
Corrections and refreshes
Report the programme URL and the university or regulator source through Contact & corrections. Recalculate the reports whenever catalogue records change, with a full annual methodology review due by 2 November 2027. Admissions, fees and registration evidence also needs review before each intake or material rule change.
Change note — 2 November 2026: added reproducible subject coverage reports, downloadable public fields and explicit evidence limits. This was not a fresh review of every programme.
