Costs and test scores

Costs

Students in the UK won’t have to pay us anything extra to take the MLA. Universities will cover the costs, including from course fees. Some medical schools charge for resits, and these fees may apply to anyone resitting the MLA as part of their degree requirements.

Publishing results 

You’ll receive your results for both parts of the MLA from your medical school.

We’re committed to sharing information to improve medical education and training. 

We recognise that others may use the data on schools’ results for ranking or league tables. We’ll discourage the use of simplistic measures to rank schools and make sure that when we use the data, it’s appropriately explained and put into context.

Resitting the MLA

The MLA will be part of the requirements for your degree. If you fail it, just as if you fail any other degree requirement, you won’t graduate. In the same way, if you pass the MLA but don't meet the other requirements set by your medical school for your degree, you won’t be able to graduate.

Mitigating circumstances and reasonable adjustments

Your university is responsible for mitigation, reasonable adjustments and appeals.
