Competition Ratio

0.75 in 2017 (from the UKFPO's 2018 Applicant's Handbook). 
NOTE: Remember that these numbers fluctuate from year to year, so looking at the statistics from just one year can be misleading.   



​

The Application Process
​
​​Appointment to F2 Programmes

Successful applicants are appointed to a 2-year programme; the applicant chooses their F2 programme when they select their F1 programme.


Linked Applications
​

Every foundation school honours linked applications so that linked applicants are allocated to the same foundation school.  Others will honour them further, ensuring applicants are allocated programmes within a certain distance of each other.

Trent does not support linked applications at a programme level, however most hospitals are reasonably close.
