Number of EU applicants to UK medical schools falls to lowest point in decade, figures show The number of applicants to medical schools from the European Union (EU) has fallen to the lowest point in nearly a decade, prompting fears that Brexit has deterred prospective doctors from studying in the UK.

Figures from the university and colleges admissions body (Ucas) show that the number has dropped by 8 per cent – to a nine-year low of 1,660.

But the overall number of applicants for medicine in UK universities has risen to 22,340, a 12 per cent rise on last year. The Independent
