Barts & The London (Queen Mary University London) is highly competitive. Of over 700 applications, around 250 candidates will be selected for interview, leading to 150 offers being made. Around 70 students are then admitted to the course in September.
All applicants are reviewed to ensure that they meet the minimum academic requirements. Then UCAT scores and UCAS tariffs are combined to provide a score, with 50% weighting from UCAS and 50% weighting from UCAT. QMUL does not predict the thresholds for interview, as they are variable year-on-year.
Interviews take the form of a short panel interview with two members of the interviewing team. These members may be senior academic staff, clinical staff, dentistry students or lay people. The QMUL interview is not designed to intimidate, and instead aims to get to know candidates in a relaxed manner, assessing the following domains:
Given that the personal statement is not used to assess applicants prior to interview, you should expect it to be used to provide background for interviewers. The university states that interviewers are looking for evidence of your academic ability, alongside your interests, talents, and the possibility of you making a real contribution to the School – in and out of academia. They will assess your suitability as a future member of the dental profession. They emphasise that they will look for evidence of you having committed yourself, and participated as fully as possible, in all facets of your school life up to this point.
Interviews are being conducted online post-COVID.
