Interview process
The Peninsula Medical School Admissions Team process applications as follows:
- Shortlisting for interview – Applicants are considered for interview based on relevant academic qualifications and evidence of sufficient clinical experience. The Admissions Advisory Panel consider many factors when choosing who will be invited to attend an interview, including the number of places available on the course and the number of applications received, alongside the academic profiles of all our applicants.
