In England, the Office for Students (OfS) sets the maximum fundable limit for medical school places on an annual basis.

For the 2025/26 academic year, OfS has published its intake target at 8,126 for medical school places. The attached spreadsheet details how this figure is broken down across medical schools.

OfS will publish its intake target for the 2026/27 academic year in due course.
