Applicants for Pre-Clinical Medicine or Veterinary Medicine Courses
Undergraduate students on the medicine or veterinary medicine course will follow a programme that, if successfully completed, will lead them to an automatic right to practise medicine or veterinary medicine. Pre-clinical medicine and veterinary medicine students at the University of Cambridge have contact with patients in the community from the first weeks of the course, and are entered on the Medical Students Register from day one. The University and Colleges jointly have a responsibility to ensure that any matters that could bear on a student's suitability or fitness to practise, or to deal with patients and colleagues, are handled properly. Before admission, all medicine and veterinary medicine students are therefore required to undergo, through the CRB, an Enhanced Disclosure of any criminal record.
If you firmly accept a conditional or unconditional offer of a place on a pre-clinical medicine or veterinary medicine course you will be issued by Student Administration and Records with:
- An Enhanced Disclosure CRB Application Form
- Information sheet containing links to
- University guidance for the CRB process
- CRB e-guide about how to fill in the application form
- CRB information about what ID documents you need to provide with your CRB application
- ID documents provided sheet
A condition of your offer of a place at the University of Cambridge is subject to receipt of an Enhanced CRB check. All conditions of your offer should be met by 31 August. The current fee for seeking the disclosure is £44.
