Thanks for this question. The early deadline for medicine is 15th October 2008. It is important to send applications in by this date as this guarantees that all applications received are given equal consideration at the institution/s applied to.

So for £17 you can apply for how many course? That seems very reasonable.
Are tuition fees higher for medicine than other courses?

It is very reasonable. It is also worth mentioning at this point that the maximum number of choices allowed for medicine on the application is four.
Tuition fees at Institutions vary; therefore it is advisable to check the UCAS Course search facility for details and to contact the institutions for further information.
