FAQs

Can students studying outside the UK or Republic of Ireland participate in the competition?

Yes, students studying overseas are welcome to attend and compete in the competition. However, please note that they will be participating unofficially, meaning they cannot be formally ranked or claim travel bursaries.

As a medical student, do I sign up for the pre-clinical or clinical category?

We recommend you select clinical if you will have begun full-time clinical placements by June 2026. This includes intercalating students who intercalate after clinical placements have started.

We will be standardizing categories across the board for the purpose of prizes - however, the questions will be the same regardless of your chosen category.

I am not a medical student - can I still take part?

We are officially open to any students studying an undergraduate degree in the UK or Ireland whose degree includes an anatomy component (e.g. Anatomy, Neuroscience). If you are unsure whether your course qualifies, please get in touch. 

Is there any financial support available for ticket or travel costs?

We aim to keep our prices affordable for all students, but we recognize that costs can still be a barrier. We offer support through two main schemes:

  • Ticket Costs: We recommend applying to our Widening Participation scheme for help covering registration fees.

  • Travel Costs: We have specific Travel Bursaries available to assist with your journey. You can apply via this form.

The deadline for travel bursary applications is 15th April.
