FAQs

Is the course for me?
The course has been designed for those considering a career in medicine and planning to apply for a place at a UK medical school. The vast majority of attendees are either 6th formers, gap year students, or recent graduates.

When should I attend the course?
The best time to attend the course is in the year preceding your UCAS application, although a case can also be made for 'the earlier the better'.

How long are the mock interviews?
Mock interviews are carried out in small groups of four. Each mock interview is 20 minutes long with another 10 minutes for feedback.

How do I get feedback on my personal statement?
Once you have attended the course, you can send us a draft of your personal statement at any time.

I cannot afford the course fees. Is help available?
One of the aims of the course is to broaden access to medicine. With this in mind, a limited number of bursaries are available to those in genuine financial need. Please contact us.

Can I pay by cheque, rather than online?
Yes. After filling in the online booking form, click on 'Submit form and go to payment options' for further instructions.

Are food and drink included in the fees?
Yes, the fees include elevenses, a 2-course seated hot lunch in the historic dining hall, and afternoon tea.

Is the Oxford tour included in the fees?

How do I get to Oxford?
If travelling from London on public transport, you can either take the coach from Victoria (approx. 1 hour 30 minutes), or the train from Paddington (approx. 1 hour). If travelling by car, Oxford is about 15 minutes from junction 8 or 9 of the M40. Turl Street is in the pedestrianised central area, but there is metered parking close by on Broad Street (approached through Parks Road). Map

I am travelling from far. Can accommodation be arranged?
If you are travelling from the Channel Islands, the North of England, Scotland, or abroad, accommodation can usually be arranged for you. Please contact us.
