Cardiff Interview 2025

Hi, My daughter has an interview at Cardiff, but she is currently travelling and has intermittent WiFi access. By the time she saw her email and booked her slot, all of the January slots had gone and the only date left was 17th December which we have currently booked. Olivia was supposed to be in New Zealand until 30th December as she has family in New Zealand and was supposed to be going to her cousins wedding on 21st December and then was spending Christmas with her Grandparents. Unfortunately her flight is non-refundable so if she has to come home early we will have to book a new flight which will probably be in the region of £1000. If anyone has an interview slot in January (any date) and would be willing to swap for 17th December we would be extremely grateful. Thanks in advance Fiona

Hi Fiona!

Firstly congratulations on getting an interview. Sorry to hear about the timing of it all, I hope its not stressing or upsetting you guys too much.
You could try and enquire with our admissions team if you haven't already and explain the situation and see if maybe they could help or if they could do it online.
A link to chat with our admissions team is here.

Good luck, and any other questions let me know.

Thanks Grace, the Admissions team are my new best friends, but sadly there is nothing they can do apart from me waiting for any cancellation slots and rebooking them as a few people have double booked slots sadly.

Hi Fiona. Was just wondering if your daughter ever managed to rebook a different slot? I hope her interview went well and medicine applications are going ok in general?
