This is an optional attribute for undergraduate courses. You can only use it when the course leads to qualification as a doctor or dentist. You must not use this attribute for any other healthcare course. You can use it for both full-time and part-time courses to show:

• that the course is a medical or dental course
• whether entry was at undergraduate or graduate level

Based on this distinction student support will vary.

You can only select this attribute if the course has a CAH1 HECoS code.

You cannot use this attribute at the same time as the Attracts NHS Bursary attribute. You should also not use it for Dental Hygiene or Dental Therapy courses.

There is further information on medical and dental courses on our practitioners website.
