The requirements outlined in the Academic Calendar for progression from Medical Sciences 1 to Medical Sciences 2 are described in greater detail, with examples, in the video below.
Note: special permission is not granted for students to progress to Medical Sciences 2 if they do not satisfy one or more of the conditions for progression. Students who are interested in applying to Year 3 BMSc but are not eligible to progress to Medical Sciences 2 may apply for admission to Year 3 BMSc as applicants from the "competitive pool". The conditions for admission from the competitive pool include minimum marks of 60% in each of the 1000-level courses listed in the Admission Requirements for the module to which they apply, and these minimum marks must be achieved prior to the September of Year 3. The minimum marks of 60% in each of the 1000-level courses in biology, chemistry, math and physics for admission to any basic medical science module must be achieved and this minimum level of academic performance will not be waived.
For more information, see:

An appeal process is not in place for students who are not eligible to progress to Medical Sciences 2 since students interested in applying to Year 3 BMSc can apply for admission from the competitive pool.
