The Essential Medicine Interview Preparation Guide
Not sure what ingredients you need for a successful Medicine application?
Interviews can seem daunting and hard to prepare for as you never quite know what to expect. However, they are extremely important, with many selections made almost entirely on interview performance alone. Luckily, there are a number of things you can do during the interview and in preparation that can really help you stand out.
Conveying your passion and motivation is essential to a successful performance at interview - interviewers want to work with people who they can trust to get on with work without needing to be pushed. Those with a genuine interest and passion are going to be more likely to do this.
This is why the first section of the our 27-page guide is dedicated to showing you how to build evidence of wider subject exploration to convey your passion for the course - our Medicine Oxbridge graduates lead you through how to know what to read, and how to cite key texts to justify your reasoning in answer to interview questions. Each book recommendation comes with a thinking task - an interview question that responds directly to the text’s content.
