What format is the Plymouth Peninsula medicine interview?
Plymouth's Peninsula Medical School runs an online MMI on Zoom, most recently five stations taking around 55 minutes in total, scored against an NHS values framework covering motivation, communication, teamwork, ethics and resilience. The personal statement is not scored at any stage, so nothing on paper compensates for a weak UCAT or a weak interview. SJT Band 4 is a hard stop, resits are only accepted where the first sitting reached at least ABB, extenuating circumstances are not considered at shortlisting, and transfers from other medical schools are not accepted. Interviews run December to February with offers from March.
How Plymouth Peninsula selects for interview
Combines UCAT, GCSEs and personal statement assessment; can apply with Biology but not Chemistry provided a second science/Maths/Psychology is taken.
2025 entry cut-offs: home 2600, international 2670, UKWPMED/WP AAB 2540. Predicted 2027 cut-offs: home 1950, international 2000, UKWPMED/WP AAB 1910.
Typical academic offer: A*AA-AAB incl. grade A in Biology + grade A in a second science from Chemistry/Physics/Maths/Psychology (2027 entry data).
