How the interview works
- You will have at least one online interview on Microsoft Teams.
- Shortlisted applicants are interviewed by two colleges.
- One is your chosen or allocated college; the second is assigned at random.
- At each college you meet at least two academics and at least one practising clinician.
- The number and format of interviews may vary by college.
- Interviews are academic conversations.
- Interviewers do not know your college choice or UCAT score.
- No written work is required.
What they assess
- Academic potential
- Suitability for medicine
How it's scored and how offers are made
- All colleges use the same selection criteria.
- Each college ranks every candidate it interviews.
- Colleges then see the second college's ranking and your UCAT score.
- Colleges submit a final ranking, and offers are made on that.
