What format is the Sheffield medicine interview?

For 2027 entry Sheffield runs multiple mini interviews in person for home applicants and online panel interviews for international applicants, both between December 2026 and January 2027. The minimum UCAT is 1800 out of 2700, and Sheffield says meeting it does not guarantee an interview: applicants who clear both academic and UCAT thresholds are ranked by UCAT, with the highest scorers progressing, apart from Access pathway applicants who are not ranked on UCAT. Your SJT is converted to a score out of five and added as a virtual ninth station on top of eight MMI stations, giving a total out of 45. Sheffield's published station areas include knowledge of Sheffield and its course, medicine in a wider context, good medical practice and information processing. Sheffield says interviewers will not have read your personal statement, but that you can expect questions on the kinds of topics applicants usually write about, and it expects a range of work experience and evidence of the skills that make a good doctor: overcoming setbacks, working independently, responsibility, service to the community, working with diverse groups, communication, enthusiasm, perseverance and self insight.

How Sheffield selects for interview

After academic minimum, UCAT is the primary ranking factor. The official minimum threshold for 2027 entry is 1800/2700.

For 2027 entry the official minimum UCAT threshold is 1800/2700. That is separate from the interview ranking cutpoint, which was 2120/2700, with average successful scores in the 2080-2170/2700 range.

Typical academic offer: AAA incl. Chemistry or Biology + one of Maths/Physics/Psychology, plus a pass in the practical element of any science A-levels (2027 entry data).
