Selection Days
Our admissions process consists of two stages:
Stage one: Academic Screening
The first stage is to submit an application with all supporting documents – either via UCAS or directly to us.
This first stage involves judgements on the basis of the written application, primarily related to academic achievement as an indicator of intellectual suitability for a medical course and the practice of medicine. Applicants may offer a variety of qualifications, but the overriding principle is that achievement should be at the highest level, and comparable to entrants to other medical schools in the United Kingdom. It is not intended that ability to pay the fees for the course should compensate for academic achievement that is less than usual for entry to a medical course in the UK.
Stage two: Multiple Mini Interview (MMI)
The second stage of selection is intended to judge personal attributes relating to suitability for practice as a doctor. It consists of a series of tasks intended to test abilities related to ‘Good Medical Practice‘, published by the UK General Medical Council.
Applicants who successfully pass will receive an offer; unsuccessful applicants will be advised.
Exceptionally high performing students may receive an offer after stage 2 in the process, however all other offers are made after the MMI events.
