Does anyone know about the whitechapel capus tour afterwards? I'm trying to book train tickets and knowing when it starts and how long it last will last will be so helpful!
Thanks.


The tour is afterwards and isn't compulsory, but may give you an idea of the atmosphere/uni. It was between 30 and 45 mins long :smile:

Form of ID, it says on My Portal to bring a passport :smile:
Does anyone know if you're allowed to take in an annotated copy/notes of the article into the interview?
Many universities have teaching hospitals... do barts also have teaching hospitals? because of what my research they don't seem to.

How long was the interview?
I'm so nervous :frown:
Regarding the article, I've read it 5 times and I still don't understand what kind of questions they could ask. It seems as though all the answers are already in the article and I can't come up with any new ideas of my own because the article is informative. Can anyone help me please?

Research the topic of discussion in the article so you are well informed on it when at interview. Try and understand some of the ethics that could arise from the topic in the article and think of your opinion on these ethics. Don't stress out, as long as you're well informed on your article you should be fine!

I completely understand what you mean however, I can't really research if all of the points possible have been made in the article. I don't see a room for my own input as all of the points have been made in the article. If they had given us a particular statement or topic instead of a very informative article, I think it would've been better. I am literally clueless to what I could possible add.

If you understand the article then that's great. Everyone was in the same position as you, nobody can know what they're going to ask but I wouldn't stress yourself about it.
