What format is the Bristol medicine interview?

Bristol calls its format a structured interview rather than an MMI or a panel. In its latest published format it runs online on Zoom, takes around 30 minutes, and covers six stations assessed by two groups of three assessors whose scores combine into one interview score. Bristol has not yet confirmed that this exact format carries into 2027 entry, so treat the six station structure as the most recent published format rather than confirmed 2027 detail. Bristol says applicants must be available for interview from November to April after they apply. Selection for interview is different from most schools: once you meet the minimum academic requirements, Bristol scores you with a 100 per cent weighting on the UCAT cognitive subtests, excluding the SJT, and publishes no cut-off score. Bristol interviewers commonly probe your work experience reflection, so we push you past describing what you saw.

How Bristol selects for interview

Once academic requirements are met, the total UCAT cognitive score alone selects for interview. SJT is not used.

Bristol traditionally requires a top-decile UCAT. 2026 entry thresholds: 2240 home, 2270 overseas. MedicHut 2027 safe prediction 2300.

Typical academic offer: AAA incl. A in Chemistry + A in one of Biology/Physics/Maths (2027 entry data).
