Important Selection Centre Information

PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE PAGE IN ADVANCE OF ATTENDING SELECTION CENTRE

Thank you for your application to study the MB ChB degree in Medicine (A101) at Warwick Medical School and congratulations on being invited to the next stage of selection. Our decision to invite you to attend a Selection Centre is based upon your academic achievements and your UCAT score.

At the Selection Centre you will have the opportunity to demonstrate the qualities that we believe are important to succeed in medicine. Our Selection Centre this year uses multiple-mini interviews (MMIs) which will consist of six stations of approximately 10 minutes each. You will be observed and scored in each station by trained assessors. They come from a range of backgrounds including medical professionals, academics, current students and lay people with an interest in medical education.

A full briefing on what to expect during your participation in the Selection Centre process will be given at the start of each session. The assessors’ scores will be collated and at the end of the Selection Centre process a decision will be taken on whether to make you an offer of a place at the medical school.
