How selection works

Applicants are screened on a 2:1 degree (or Master's/Doctorate if 2:2) and a minimum threshold on UCAT, GAMSAT or MCAT. All applicants meeting both are invited to a six-station Multiple Mini Interview (approx. 1.5 hours, two trained assessors per station); each candidate's score profile is then reviewed to decide offers.
