Why Blue Peanut

Admissions guidance from practising NHS doctors

Admissions insight

Former MBChB admissions assessors

Our guidance is shaped by real experience of assessing medical school applicants. We do not do this now, as it would be a conflict of interest.

Training future doctors

Educational supervisors in the NHS

We support foundation doctors and GP trainees, giving us deep insight into medical education at every level.

Research-led expertise

Academic and evidence-based

Our work includes medical research at King's College London, helping ensure our teaching is rigorous and current.

Honest and transparent

Trusted, ethical guidance

As RCGP Fellows and BMA members, we offer independent advice with no sponsorship, bias or hidden agenda. No CEOs, investors or business awards.

Doctor-led admissions coaching

What students say

Applicants who sat where you're sitting

Very friendly and supportive doctor tutors, and genuinely interactive, with constructive feedback on every scenario. I landed two offers for graduate entry medicine.

Christian Cox
Graduate entry medicine

The courses prepared me really well for dentistry, especially the manual dexterity side of the interview. So happy to have three dentistry offers.

Susan Farrokhe
Dentistry applicant

Smaller groups and personalised support, and far better value than the pricier commercial courses. Their follow-up was instrumental in both my daughter and niece getting their offers.

Muhammad Al-Amin
Parent

Working With Local Schools

Widening access to medicine and dentistry

We work with leading local schools to open our courses to students from every background.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

What is Blue Peanut?
A specialist admissions service for medicine and dentistry applicants, run by practising NHS doctors. We help you prepare for the UCAT, interviews and the wider application.
How does Blue Peanut improve my chances?
We cover the whole application: UCAT preparation, personal statement strategy, and interview and MMI practice. The aim is a stronger, more competitive application that matches what universities look for.
What makes you different?
You are taught by practising NHS doctors who train and assess applicants, in small groups, with real practice and individual feedback.
When should I start preparing?
Ideally in Year 11 or early Year 12. That gives you time to build experience, prepare for the UCAT, and develop a considered application.
How important is the UCAT?
For many UK medical and dental schools it is a major factor, and a strong score can be the difference in securing interviews. See our UCAT resources and the UCAT blog.
Do you offer interview preparation?
Yes, for both panel and MMI formats, across medicine and dentistry. See our MMI circuits and interview course.
Do you support international students and parents?
Yes. We guide international applicants through UK-specific expectations, and we give parents clear information so they can support their child through the process.
What results can I expect?
No service can guarantee an offer. What we do is help you avoid common mistakes, sharpen your application, and approach every stage with more confidence.
