Could someone please explain what dissection with cadavers means? And also what do unis who don't do a 'full body dissection' do? I've always been confused about this.


Leicester offer Cadaveric dissection: each group (of 7-8 students) is assigned a designated body for the entire year.

Most of us tend to make a right mess of our Dissection (apart from a select few gifted individuals) so Leicester also have Prosection material (e.g. pre-cut upper limb and lower limb) so we can see what things should actually look like.

What are you guys wearing... Is a suit too much? And is just a shirt and formal trousers too little? I wish they would specify these things in the email :frown:

Does anyone know how long the interviews last?

At my newcastle interview all the guys wore a suit! I think the general consensus is to go with a suit, so I would suggest that!! Also, might as well go in a full suit and then remove blazer/tie if overdressed (I'd rather do that than go without and realise that everyone else is in full suits!)

I am pretty sure there are about 2 minute breaks between each so there is time to move to each station and read the task so add another 16 minutes

Congratulations! :smile: How are you prepping for it?



Thank you! I'm honestly not sure where to even start. I guess just researching Leicester as a university as well as a medical school, and tightening up my answers to questions about personal qualities (and making sure I have examples!) Do you have an interview? :smile:

This is what I was wondering! I got my AS Level certificates today but only have the originals, and I'm guessing since there was no mention of them we don't need our GCSE ones? I'm so unsure :s-smilie:

...oh ok. This is well and truly the marathon of all interviews!! (My newcastle one was barely 30 mins :tongue:!)

The roleplay is gonna be really interesting (if they do it)...no idea how I'll do on that :L
