Asked by Wiki User

Born in 1881, Fleming was educated like a typical middle-class Englishman he was. He attended Darvel School, Kilmarnock Academy, and the Royal Polytechnical Institution. He entered medical school in 1903 and graduated in 1906. He obtained a bachelor of science in bacteriology in 1908.

So my GUESS is that he began his formal education about 1887, and received his final degree in 1908.
