The interview will be conducted by a member of the academic staff and will assess the applicant's communication skills, maturity, motivation and suitability for a career in medicine.

Following attendance at interview, Admissions will consider the application in full. It is the decision of the Admissions Committee to recommend applicants for admission to the appropriate programme for which they are deemed eligible. Candidates will be advised of the outcome of this consideration by email within two weeks of interview.

Application outcomes are as follows:

  • Candidates may be issued with a Full Offer.
