How to apply in the United Kingdom
The same rules for every institution in the United Kingdom; Institute of Cancer Research's own programme pages govern the exact dates and scores. Guide checked 24 Sep 2026.
Deadlines and intakes
Undergraduate, through UCAS. For 2027 entry: applications opened 1 September 2026; 15 October 2026 is the absolute deadline for Oxford, Cambridge and most medicine, dentistry and veterinary courses; 13 January 2027 is the equal consideration deadline for everything else. Clearing runs July to October but is risky for international students because the visa timeline gets very tight.
Postgraduate is completely different. No UCAS for most taught master's: you apply directly to each university and pay separate fees. Most assess on a rolling basis, so places and especially scholarships go to early applicants. Competitive programmes operate in rounds and can close months before the stated deadline.
Language you need
Universities typically ask IELTS Academic 6.0-6.5 for undergraduate, 6.5-7.0 for taught master's, and 7.0-7.5 for law, journalism, medicine, nursing, teacher training and translation.
The visa requirement is separate and lower: CEFR B2 for degree level, B1 below.

How we check reviews
Every reviewer confirms their email address with a one-time link, and a person at Studies Multiverse reads each review before it appears. We publish good and bad reviews on the same terms, never edit them, never pay for them, and an institution cannot remove a review by paying us. Reviews sent from the institution’s own email domain are not accepted. Institutions can reply below a review. See our terms.
