Medicine Interview Tips
OnCampus is dedicated to preparing all students for academic and professional success. Medicine is an incredibly competitive area of study, so below are some of the desirable attributes of successful Medical interviewees.
Applicants will need to demonstrate their English level. Medicine courses are diverse and people orientated, and the ability to communicate effectively with different people is very important. Students should expect the interviewer to want to see demonstrated.
Applicants will have already studied biology, chemistry and maths, so they should be prepared to talk about what they have learned and why they feel these things are important to the field of Medicine. This can include previous modules studied and examples of work and projects.
Applicants will need to demonstrate a thorough understanding of the course, modules and format of study. We recommend revising the course information, the website and key points to the course.
The interviewer is looking for a student who is clearly passionate about a career in Medicine. Applicants should be prepared for questions such as: Why do you want to study Medicine specifically? What are your plans? Where do you see yourself after the course? Why this course in particular?
This course is driven by interaction with people and practice. Applicants should be prepared for questions such as: Are you prepared to work hard both academically and practically? Do you have the required life experience in a caring environment where you have put other’s needs first before yours? During the interview, students will be required to draw on their own experiences of caring for others.
Applicants who prepare well ahead of the interview can feel more confident in how they come across. We recommend applicants visit the Medicine Undergraduate Foundation Programme webpage and read through the MUFP Programme Guide to gain an understanding of the course and what will be expected of them.
