University of Bradford- clinical sciences 2018

I’m honestly not sure at all I’ve asked them a similar question on twitter!

Hello

Just to give you a bit more info about the selection day. The day is structured to enable us to asses the personal qualities and communication skills necessary to be a successful healthcare professional and to explore your academic potential.

On the day you'll be taking part in a group exercise and assuming you've applied for the widening participation route to Medicine at Leeds Medical School, you will also have an individual interview.

How you perform in these will dictate whether you are made an offer. But it is also a great time for you to ask any niggling questions you may have and get to know our academics.

Hope this helps,

Emma P

Do we have to stay for the talks how long will the day take? Can we just attend the interview and group take? Also where’s best to park? Will the interview be medicine related if I’m applying for the Leeds route? Sorry for a million questions haha

Hello

The interview is usually a half day long and will include group activities and an interview. We would like those attending to stay for the duration of the day in order to get as much as possible from the experience.

Parking is available on a first come first served basis - you may need to arrange for a visitor's permit, or a day permit from our reception. However, there is parking available on the surrounding streets if there are no spaces available when you arrive.

I cannot advise you what the interview will entail but I can say that you should know your application and personal statement.

Cheers

Joe

Do we need to Bring evidence for widening participation or gcse certificates

Hi

I counted 5 questions...

If the ultimate goal is to study medicine, then you would need to apply for the Foundation in Clinical Science / Medicine

However, only those who satisfy the widening participation criteria (found on the course page) are eligible for the transfer to Leeds. Additionally, the transfer is only available to those who have studied the foundation year. There are 2 chances to transfer to medicine:

1. At the end of the foundation year
2. At the end of the first year of the Clinical Sciences BSc (for those who have studied the Foundation the year before).

There are approximately 20 spaces available at each transfer, and whilst we make the recommendations for the transfer, Leeds are under no obligation to accept the recommendations - therefore the transfer is never guaranteed.

The transfer is subject to academic achievement, an application, the BMAT and an interview.

Please be advised, the course and transfer is very competitive. There are approximately 140 spaces on the foundation year - with the majority vying for those 20 spaces...

I hope this helps!

Hi, would you only be eligible to transfer to the Medicine course if you did the Route 3 Clinical Sciences course, and not the Route 2?

Hello

Route 3 students are the only students who would be eligible for the transfer to Leeds Medical School as you would need to meet the widening participation

Hey Joe,

Once you’ve had your interview how long does it take for them to get back to you

Thanks for the response! I was wondering this myself. Will it be 7-10 days from now or from the interview date?Thanks!Georgia

Hello

It's usually 7-10 days from your interview date.

Did you have your interview on the 8th November?
