Edinburgh Medical School students are from a wide range of countries. Image English language proficiency All students whose first language is not English will have to provide proof of English language proficiency. Students will be working with patients early on and we want to be sure that they will be confident to be able to communicate with staff, students and patients. Undergraduate English language requirements Deferred entry Due to the extremely competitive nature of the programme, we are unable to consider any applications for deferred entry with the exception of those undertaking mandatory military service or a similar obligation.
