It is “ludicrous” that new medical schools are opening in the UK with no British students, the shadow health secretary has said.
Brunel University London began a new medicine degree programme in September but all 100 of its first intake are from overseas because the institution has not been given any UK government-funded places.
Chester University is also due to open a medical school catering solely to international students because places for domestic students are capped. Both say they hope to offer places to UK students “soon”.
