How selection works

Two-stage process: Stage 1 (Cognitive Ability) combines academic performance (GCSE/A-level/degree, scored by points system) with UCAT score to rank and shortlist for interview; Stage 2 (Non-Cognitive Ability) is a Multi Mini Interview assessing empathy, problem-solving, moral reasoning and communication skills. Final offer decisions are based solely on interview performance/rank order.
