Graduate Entry Medicine: Interviews and Selection

Selection is competitive and is based on merit. Applications are considered from suitably qualified candidates from any part of the world and neither the University nor any college imposes any restrictions as to race, colour, creed or sex. There is however a Government-imposed quota of fourteen overseas students per year for entry to medicine as a whole (graduate-entry and undergraduate courses) at Oxford,  though so far the quota has not in practice been a limiting factor in selection for the Graduate-entry course.

Selection will be by an appraisal of how far you meet the selection criteria, as evidenced by a combination of:

  • the information on your application form and UCAS application
  • an appraisal of your referees' statements
  • interview or interviews
  • a short aptitude test (the UCAT).

Shortlisting for interview will be performed by a group of medical tutors, including some medical tutors from those colleges that offer places on the course. Interviews and selection decisions will involve tutors from your chosen (or allotted) college as well as clinical tutors. There will normally be more than one interview; typically two at each college, and every candidate will be interviewed at two colleges. Interviews will be held online on Thursday 19 and Friday 20 December.
