Advice & Insight From PA Application Specialists
St George’s requires at least a 2.2 degree. If you are a healthcare graduate, you must have a Pass. The following degrees are acceptable: Anatomical Science, Applied Medical Sciences, Biochemistry, Biological Science, Biomedical Science, Human Anatomy, Human Biology, Human Physiology, Microbiology, Neuroscience, Pharmacy, Psychology, Allied Health Professions, inc. Audiology, Diagnostic Imaging, Physiotherapy, Paramedic Studies, Radiotherapy, Dentistry, Health Sciences, Midwifery, Nursing, Optometry, Sport and Exercise Science.
Additionally, all candidates must sit the UCAT. The UCAT is an online aptitude test designed to assess key areas of performance, such as verbal reasoning and abstract reasoning, as well as containing a situational judgement test. You must score at least 500 in each section. The UCAT is used to rank applicants who will be invited to interview, and may be used to rank applicants who are put on the waiting list after interview. You should therefore prepare for the UCAT well in advance using a question bank.
You must also have paid or voluntary healthcare or social work experience.
St George’s will generate a cut-off score using the UCAT and then invite applicnats to MMI after this process is complete. They expect to invite around 250 applicants per year.
MMIs are ranked after they are completed and the highest performing candidates will be offered places.
The interview at St George’s uses the MMI (Multiple Mini Interview) format. There are six stations, each of which will take five minutes. You will rotate through the stations and each will feature a different assessor. The MMI is designed to be objective and will be scored according to predetermined criteria. Each station will feature a different theme.
The course takes two years, and applications must be filed by January 29th. The course starts in August. The final deadline for booking the UCAT is the 28th of September.
