Interviews

After making an application, shortlisted candidates will be invited to a Multiple Mini Interview (MMI).

Multiple Mini Interview (held December to April)

An MMI combines traditional-style questions with task-based activities. The interview consists of up to eight activities each lasting five minutes (40 minutes in total).

Example MMI tasks

Pack a suitcase for a trip, where the case can only contain half of the items available

Travelling on the London Underground, one of your friends has become separated from the group – it’s their first time in London – describe your plan of action

You have a list of 15 individuals, giving their sex, age and occupation – you can save five of them from nuclear attack – which five and why?

As captain of a football team, inform a member of your team that they have not been selected to play in the final

Inform your neighbour that you have just (accidentally) run over and killed their cat

Key competencies assessed

Academic ability and intellect

Empathy

Initiative and resilience

Communication skills

Organisation and problem solving

Team work

Insight and integrity

Effective learning style

This interview format provides a high level of interaction between you and the interviewer. It gives you a chance to demonstrate more than just a taught knowledge of your chosen field of science.

MMIs are a better predictor of academic performance and professional behaviour than traditional panel interviews. This format also allows us to assess more candidates in a shorter period of time, which means you will get the results of sooner.

Medicine Transfers

Medical students at Oxford University and Cambridge University may apply for direct entry to the third year of our Medicine MBBS course through the Metropolitan Oxbridge Common Admissions Group (MOCAG) admissions scheme. Information and application forms can be obtained from individual tutors at Cambridge colleges or from the Oxford Medical School at John Radcliffe Hospital.

With the exception of the MOCAG Admissions Scheme, we are unable to consider transfers from other courses or from other institutions.

Extenuating circumstances

We define extenuating circumstances as unforeseen and outside of an applicant’s control. The circumstances must demonstrate that there has been a substantial, serious impact on your academic studies and results.

For example, such circumstances would include: health and personal problems, disability or difficulties with schooling. Whilst St George’s is keen to widen participation for particular groups, we are required to ensure that you as an applicant can cope with the rigours of, and are suited to, the programme you apply for.

You will need to ask a representative or teacher at your school, college or university to complete the Extenuating Circumstances Form for Applicants (please note that this form is only for use by applicants and not current St George's students).

If your school or college is unaware of your circumstances, the form can be completed by another official such as a GP or social worker. Forms completed by family members unfortunately cannot be considered.

How and when the form needs to be submitted

The form needs to be completed and submitted by a representative or teacher at your school or college or university within 15 working days of you submitting your application form (UCAS or direct applications)

Please send the form to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

For medicine MBBS5 (A100) and medicine MBBS graduate entry (A101) - the form must be received no later than the 1st November in the year of application.

For all other healthcare courses - the form should be received no later than 1 March (in the year of entry).

What else you need to include

It should include any information that is relevant to the application and the circumstances. Formal supporting documentation (e.g. from a GP) can also be attached. This will ensure that the Admissions Tutors are able to accurately assess the circumstances in context with the academic record.

Notes for schools/colleges/universities

When considering endorsing an applicant’s circumstances, please note the following points:

Appropriate circumstances would be serious, acute or chronic illness since the age of 14 or recently diagnosed illness (for example, depression) that has led to significant educational disruption;

Significant caring responsibilities or a recent bereavement or serious illness of an immediate family member;

Serious disruption of educational provision at their school/college/university.
