The following pages set out the eligibility criteria for the 2026 UK Foundation Programme. Applicants must meet the requirements set out in the eligibility criteria in order to meet the UKFP 2026 Person Specification.

Non-urgent advice: Important

Where the eligibility application guidance indicates that a piece of evidence must be submitted, or action must otherwise be taken (e.g. a deadline to be adhered to), this is mandatory. If an applicant does not follow the published processes, instructions and deadlines it will result in their application being marked ineligible and withdrawn from the application process.
