I haven't received anything either
I’ve only received an acknowledgment email.
Same here, only got the acknowledgment so far! I’ve heard interviews are going out though.
For International students or home students ?

Thanks for the answer 🙂

Will you request the 70 hours work experience before or after the interviews (for home applicants)?

Will more invites be sent out later on?
Hi all

I'm afraid we're not able to share the number of applications.

When home applicants are shortlisted for interviews they will be sent a link to an online form where they will be asked information regarding work experience.

We expect that there will be opportunity for further interview dates in the new year, however, this has not yet been finalised and therefore we're not able to share any other details at this point.

Hope this helps!

Not just you!
Does this mean those that have not done the UCAT as of yet won’t be considered for interview at this stage? The staff at the open event stated they would consider all applications and applicants currently without UCAT results due the late announcement of the course…? And that if shortlisted, they could sit the UCAT at the next sitting?
To whom it may concern,

When do you anticipate the course being closed to new applications? I fulfil all the criteria however I have only recently noticed that the course was still open.

Thank you

Kind regards

Are international students still able to apply? as it says on the website that the applications for September 2024 are still open? if so, will there be more interviews held? Thank you
