Understanding the Letter

What Is a University Medical Evidence Letter?

A University Medical Evidence Letter is a professional document prepared by a doctor following a clinical assessment. The letter may confirm that you were experiencing a medical condition, illness, injury, or other health issue that may have affected your ability to study, attend university, complete coursework, sit examinations, or participate fully in academic activities.

Many universities request independent medical evidence when considering applications involving health-related circumstances. Our doctors prepare letters based on:

Clinical assessment
Your medical history
Information provided during your consultation
Available supporting medical evidence where appropriate

When You Might Need One

When Might You Need a University Medical Evidence Letter?

Every university has its own policies and requirements, so we recommend checking the specific guidance provided by your institution.
