Medical and Dental Students survey 2024
The Medical and Dental Students survey 2024 (MDS24) asks higher education providers in the UK to provide data on the intake of medical and dental students in the 2023-24 and 2024-25 academic years.
This is an annual, UK-wide survey. We are conducting it on behalf of the Department of Health and Social Care, NHS England, the Scottish Funding Council, Medr (Wales’s Commission for Tertiary Education and Research) and the Department for the Economy in Northern Ireland.
This document gives guidance for submission of data, and changes and clarifications since last year's survey.
